Learning, growing and having fun!

Aims of the School

We aim to provide a caring environment in which children learn to respect each other and their elders and to enable the personal development of each child to proceed without hindrance. This includes the development of social and artistic skills as well as intellectual ones. We also aim to encourage interest and to help children acquire relevant knowledge. We try to give all children as many opportunities for success as possible, because the child who is successful has something to be proud of, something to set their personal standards by. We encourage our children to care; this is not only in their work and behaviours, but also in dealings with other people. We encourage our children to develop relationships of quality with each other and with adults. Good relationships help our children to feel secure and they need this feeling of security to achieve the greatest success. We like our children to be actively involved in what we are doing and to experience a wide range of interesting activities. Much work will start with the children ‘doing’ for example using mathematics or going on a visit in connection with the planned work.

Residential visits are available in all year groups and play a large part in helping to achieve these aims. By keeping these aims, discipline problems should be few, but where they do arise they are treated on an individual basis. If there were any serious incident or a number of less serious ones we would contact you as a parent so that we may work together to solve the problem.

Should you wish to discuss your child’s progress or if you have any cause for concern, please contact the school, when an appointment can be made, either with the class teacher or with the Headteacher.
