Aims and Values

We took the old school aims that were divided into headings for pupils, parents and teachers and asked the school council to review them.

 

The pupils came up with 3 definitions for the pillars that support this school and having taken them to the governors, we are excited to be adopting aspirational aims that have been written by our pupils for everyone in our community!

 

It is quite a privilege to watch a team of children across ages come together to question, shape and create statements that will define our expectations for the years ahead!
