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.
