Excellence

We set high standards in all areas of school life. We work hard and try our best in each lesson, each day and each term to be the very best version of ourselves.

Respect

We speak and behave towards ourselves and other members of our community in a kind, pleasant and polite manner.

Personal Responsibility

We make good decisions about what we say and do and are accountable for our choices.

Gratitude

We notice and appreciate other people’s actions, the opportunities we are offered and the world in which we live.

Free School Meals

We want to make sure that we are providing your child with the best education and support we can. Healthy school food has obvious health benefits and can help pupils establish healthy habits for life. Healthy school food can also help to improve pupils’ readiness to learn. Families who are currently paying for school meals will save around £450 a year for each child if they are entitled to free school meals.
