Underpinned by our Christian values, we want our children to have respect for themselves, each other and for the wider world in which we live. We want them to be happy, resilient, and proactive and commit to working interdependently. We want our children to make a difference.
Within the MVF, we provide an engaging and inclusive curriculum based upon the needs and interests of our children which builds upon previous knowledge and experience.
Our children are given opportunities to take risks within a safe environment, sparking their curiosity through practical child-led learning opportunities which challenge their ideas, encouraging them to be confident, independent and successful individuals whilst fostering a lifelong love of learning.
