With the creation of our federation came a new vision for both schools and a set of values. Our visions and values are at the core of everything we do. They underpin our teaching and learning, and provide an environment which prepares our pupils as confident, happy citizens.
Our staff, governors and children helped choose the three values that all of us wanted to focus on and be part of. Firstly, we felt that all of our community needed to experience a love for learning or an interest in their lives; helping everyone experience the joy of being immersed in something they like whilst also exploring new and exciting activities and opportunities.
Our value of PASSION was decided upon to ensure that we reflect on what we love to do, what ignites that flame and how we can be open to exploring new things.
