Back in 2013, we set a vision which was summed up by our aim: To Inspire Active Learning and Exceed Expectations.
By the time we reached 2017, we were able to look back at the whole of the vision which included; the school focusing on adult development and improving our practice by working closely together and using research so we could give our children active and personalised learning opportunities in order for them to exceed the national rates of progress and attainment. Guess what?
We did it. We achieved everything we set out to do back then and so our school motto is now: Inspiring Active Learning and Exceeding Expectations.
