all children are given the skills and opportunities to be independent and collaborative learners in a happy, structured, stimulating environment;

expectations are high, both collectively and individually;

all children are equipped with the knowledge and skills to choose a healthy, active lifestyle;

teachers provide school days that excite, challenge and motivate each child;

our 6 rules are simple, fair, understood and consistent;

everyone is valued and respected regardless of gender, race, age, religion or ability;

goals and targets are clearly defined and explained and achievements are celebrated;

we prepare all our children for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of life and equip them to achieve the highest standards possible in everything they do.
