We have a very well stocked library with a range of fiction and non fiction books. Children are able to visit the library regularly and we encourage children to develop an enjoyment and interest in reading through various events. We all work closely together to encourage children to become independent learners and to have the confidence to try something new and understand that mistakes can be a valuable part of the learning process. We do this by creating a safe and supportive learning environment. Each child is valued for their individual strengths and talents and supported to make progress in all areas. The education we offer is tailored and adapted to meet the needs of the children in each class. We serve a diverse community and we are continously adapting and evaluating our pratice and curriculum to ensure all our children are encouraged to be aspirational for their future, seeing themselves in every part of their learning. Our school learning powers were chosen by the children and are embedded in everything we do. They are resilience, curiosity, self-belief, respect for others and kindness.
