At Yerbury we feel that we are one big family and we are a very special family because we have children and adults from many different cultures and backgrounds! We are a very friendly school where children are encouraged to become confident, caring and articulate and to use their abilities to the full.
We provide a calm and happy atmosphere and set high standards of behaviour, hard work and achievement for all children and adults. "Work hard and play well" is familiar to all of us! We work hard to include everyone fully in everything we offer. We see everyone as special and so we value them and support them in their development as rounded individuals.
We celebrate all our similarities and differences through mutual respect, work in class, assemblies, festivals, theme weeks, etc.
