our 6 Core Values which underpin all that we do and add to the success and inclusive nature of our
school:
Respect, Readiness, Resourcefulness, Responsibility, Resilience and Reflectiveness
We believe that children need to play, explore, observe, investigate, repeat, copy, problem solve and
represent in order to come to terms with themselves, other people and the world around. We are lucky to have a staff of wonderfully inspiring and dedicated teachers and teaching assistants, who not only
have high expectations in all areas of the curriculum, but are also supportive of every child's needs.
