The early years of a child’s life are very important. We aim to enable each child to reach their full potential by:

• promoting educational excellence, matched to the ability of each child, in a welcoming, happy and caring environment

• giving a firm foundation in literacy and numeracy skills to support children to reach the highest possible standards of achievement

• providing a broad and balanced curriculum that is ambitious and recognises the importance of building on prior learning, enabling children to make connections across all curriculum areas and develop a love of learning

• actively promoting equality to enable all children to have equal access to the full range of educational opportunities through the curriculum offered; and to experience success to reach their potential regardless of their starting point

• promoting and valuing cultural diversity, inclusion and meeting the diverse needs of our children

• endeavouring to be a community that children and adults enjoy coming to, learning in, and sharing in the many relationships encountered here.
