ABOUT OUR SCHOOL
IMPORTANT NOTICE - LOCKDOWN
We, like many other schools, are presently closed due to the lockdown. However, on the 14th of April, we begin our virtual classrooms using a combination of a virtual learning platform and google classroom. Lessons will be conducted daily to a timetable, by the teachers, with interactive and engaging term two content to accompany the workbooks and work packs that we handed out to our children before the lockdown began. Using these platforms we can ensure that our children won't fall behind in any part of the curriculum and will still have the opportunity to engage and interact with their teachers and classmates. We also hope, that by offering this service, we can support our families and bring some sense of normality to this stressful time.
Who we are:

Our Mission:
Our mission is to offer a balanced education through individual attention with shared values, principles and creativity so that learners can strive to be their best and make a valuable contribution to our society.
Our Values:
For all our learners, staff, parents and wider community. We encourage our learners to show compassion, understanding and acceptance of differences and individuality.
For our environment and the world around us. We teach and encourage sustainable living and environmentally friendly practices.
Learning should be fun and we encourage our learners to enjoy and embrace each day of learning and play.
We encourage our learners to embrace knowledge and to apply it to their day to day lives. Learning is not just what happens during school hours but continues in understanding how what we learn at school, can be applied to the world around us. We encourage inquiring minds, critical thinking and deeper understanding.
