To ensure that parents, carers and families are supported to be active members of the community through the provision of affordable wrap-around care.
To promote a respectful, caring ethos and environment through our work as a Rights Respecting School, in which children can learn how to develop positive relationships, respect for cultural and spiritual diversity and the ability to choose not to bully or discriminate.

To encourage and enable our pupils to be physically healthy through our engagement with the School Games Mark.
