Perseverance • Responsibi l i ty • Independence • Determination • Empathy

We believe that perseverance is the key to

unlocking talent. It is an attribute that we

value in everything that we do. We promote

perseverance across all subjects to enable

our children to meet their full potential, and

be the best they can be.

Perseverance is a life-long quality which will

stand your child in good stead whatever

their path. This leads to children who work

diligently and who want to keep on trying.

“Pupils routinely read through each other’s work and write comments as they judge its quality. Pupils respond to these comments very positively because they value each other’s opinions.”

“The whole process aids learning because pupils have a good level of involvement in assessing how well they are doing. Pupils’ attitudes to learning are positive.”

- Ofsted October 2013

We encourage individual and collective

responsibility in all aspects of school life.

We encourage responsibility for relationships

with others, and will support your child in

building effective relationships by providing

strong boundaries and moral role models.

We uphold personal responsibility by

advocating smart uniform, excellent

attendance, personal well-being and

academic achievement. This leads to your

child being an active partner in their own

learning and personal development.

“Pupils behave well and are very proud of their school. Attendance has improved year-on-year and is currently well above average.”

“Teachers manage behaviour consistently well and lessons run smoothly because relationships are strong and pupils want to do well.” - Ofsted October 2013

“The way in which pupils assess the quality of each other’s work is particularly good.”

We want your child to have a love of

learning and become a life-long learner.

To do this we have developed a rich and

exciting curriculum which is stimulating and

engaging.

We provide a range of excellent facilities

and strong teaching environment within

which to develop independence. We are

proud of our superb choice of specialist

facilities, which include ICT, music, science

and design and technology teaching areas,

not to mention our splendid grounds.

As our children move from Key Stage 2 into

Key Stage 3, we provide an effective bridge

between the two phases by maintaining

a strong link with the class teacher,

whilst increasing the range of specialist

teaching. This leads to the development of

exceptionally well rounded, independent

individuals.

We encourage children to have the

determination to reach the highest

academic and personal targets. We are

determined that we will make a difference

to your child’s progress and well-being. We

enable this by providing high quality learning

experiences.

We are determined to make the most of

our children’s talents by insisting on high

expectations and supporting them every

step of the way. This leads to children being

equipped to overcome obstacles and

achieve goals.

“In lessons, pupils work well together. They particularly enjoy talking with a partner about their work.”

“Systems for checking pupils’ progress are of good quality. They are far more precise than in the past and pupils who are in danger of falling behind are identified early so that they get quickly back on track.” - Ofsted October 2013

We place a high value on respect for others,

alongside tolerance of other faiths and

cultures. We have a friendly and welcoming

culture providing an atmosphere in which

children learn well. Through our rewards

and sanctions, underpinned by our ‘pride’

values, we uphold excellent behaviour.

We value effective relationships between

parents and carers, children and adults.

We are a school that listens and tries to

empathise with other members of our

community.

Relationships underpinned by empathy will

further promote your child’s self-esteem and

we seek to build these at every opportunity.

This leads to children who are able to value

other peoples’ feelings.
