Our Aims & Ethos

Our aim is for every child to become a first class version of themselves. We strive to provide or impart:

• a love of learning for its own sake;
• a foundation of knowledge from a rich and creative curriculum and a set of skills with which to understand and question the world that we live in;
• an awareness of, and appreciation of, the spiritual dimension in our lives;
• an enthusiasm for the world beyond the classroom - in particular, art, sport, music and the performing arts;
• a respect for others and a recognition that the efforts and achievements of every individual in our community are valued equally;
