The following aims were agreed after discussions with pupils, teachers, support staff, governors and parents. They demonstrate our commitment to provide a broad, balanced curriculum and to ensure that all the pupils in our care have equal access to it.

We aim:

- To provide a safe, secure and stimulating environment for pupils, staff, parents and visitors.

- To enable pupils to develop their potential in all aspects of the curriculum, and in particular, in acquiring effective skills in numeracy and literacy.

- To provide pupils with an education appropriate to the world beyond the classroom.

- To develop in pupils an enjoyment of learning and a desire to continue to expand their knowledge and skills throughout their life.

- To help pupils to live together in the community of the school and within the local area, and to develop a sensitivity to others and become responsible, independent people.

- To develop in pupils a positive sense of moral responsibility and self-discipline.

- To develop in pupils spiritual awareness and an awe for the universe.

- To help pupils experience satisfaction and pride through progress.

- To recognise and reward co-operation, hard work and a positive attitude.

- To work together with parents and pupils to raise standards in National Curriculum subjects and throughout the whole of school life.
