Our vision is to ignite a lifelong passion for learning, to discover and develop potential, allowing all to flourish in an ever-changing world.

This is because our values are aspiration, endeavour, creativity, participation and respect.

How we go about this is set out in our curricular aims - what we teach, where, when, why and how.

Valuing aspiration means we:

• Aim high in all that we do;
• Prepare to succeed in school and in life;
• Aim to create memories and futures together.

Valuing endeavour means we:

• Believe hard work leads to success;
• Strive to achieve our targets, goals and ambitions;
• Develop resilience to thrive in an ever-changing word.

Valuing creativity means we:

• Believe that we are all creative;
• Love learning and thinking deeply;
• Acknowledge the importance of education for education’s sake.

Valuing participation means we:

• Learn from each other to make a positive impact on our school, families and world;
• Broaden our skills beyond the classroom;
• Promote community links through charity and voluntary work.

Valuing respect means we:

• Create a mutually respectful atmosphere;
• Have respect for ourselves, others and our surroundings;
• Form positive relationships in an environment that is free from prejudice, bullying and harassment.

IGNITE

Our aim is to ignite a lifelong passion for learning by:

• establishing a rich, imaginative and relevant curriculum;
• appreciating the impact we have as educators to enthuse, engage and enable; and
• creating the right conditions for learning through effective and consistent approaches to behaviour.

Discover

Our aim is for our learners to discover and develop their potential through:

• a carefully constructed curriculum that exposes them to a full range of subjects and experiences;
• an exposure to powerful subject knowledge and a development of the skills associated with the dialectic (debate, authentic experiences, experimentation, enquiry, analysis, problem-solving) and the rhetoric (communication skills, performance, show-casing); and
• learning about how they can manage their own behaviour by regulating, reflecting, relating, repairing and repeating.

Flourish

Our aim is that all our learners will flourish in our ever-changing world because they:

• have had access to a varied and challenging curriculum that leads to successful outcomes in terms of character and capability;
• are equipped with the skills, knowledge and curiosity that will encourage them to continue exploring; and
• have developed positive emotional intelligence attributes that will contribute to successful professional and personal relationships during their life.
