Openness |
|
| |
|
|
| |
We hope for a School which is open to all who have an interest in what we are doing. We hope that people; parents, pupils and members of the community feel able to approach us. |

Accountability |
|
| |
|
|
| |
We consider it to be part of our job to inform parents, explain our practices, and justify them if necessary. We wish to listen carefully to other views, and to respond. Parents are accountable too, especially for the attendance and the conduct of their children. |
|

|
|
| |
Partnership |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Learning is often the result of people working together; teacher and pupil; pupil and parent; parent and teacher. A creative partnership is of benefit to us all. |

High Expectations |
|
| |
|
|
| |
We require everyone to do his or her best. Nothing less will do. Hard work and effort should always be recognised while underachievement should never be accepted. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Individual Needs |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Our greatest challenge is in meeting the specific needs of so many individuals. While this is difficult, we aim to make the best possible use of available resources to enable us to achieve it. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Equal Opportunities |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Equality of opportunity is a means of assisting every individual to learn and develop as effectively as possible. This means overcoming the barriers to learning - whether they exist in course materials or in stereotypes to do with race, religion, disability, age, gender or socio-economic background. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Participation |
|
| |
|
|
| |
We hope to encourage all members of the school to participate in the various activities, curricular and extra curricular, that go in to the school; to contribute as well as to receive. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Caring Community |
|
| |
|
|
| |
We wish to engender a sense of community, of belonging, wherein individuals; pupils, parents, teachers and support staff feel valued and also value others, where there is an ethic of co-operation and of helping each other. |
