We will do our best, be happy and honest, show respect and be friendly. Teach children how they should live, and they will remember it all their life. Proverbs 22:6 (Good News Version) At Cartmel we create a happy, caring environment, based on Christian Values where we value every child and encourage them to strive for their highest standards of achievement.
We ensure that our young people go into the world as confident, independent, responsible citizens with a love for learning. Have fun together, learn together, pray together, succeed together, work together. Our Mission statement was composed by children, staff, parents and governors, who worked together over several weeks.
Our current Christian Values in school are: Love, Respect, Compassion, Forgiveness, Honesty and Resilience. Please see attached file for our statement on the Prevent Duty.
