-
Our school is committed to real world learning opportunities that ignite students’ passions.
-
Learners are engaged in collaborative, self-directed learning where teachers act as facilitators.
-
Our teachers ‘really’ know our children, how they learn best and what steers their engagement; our children will know they are known!
-
There is strong collaboration with other schools and our wider community. We will draw career opportunities into all aspects of the curriculum to ensure children have the highest of aspirations.
-
We research and use new pedagogies and tools to liberate learning from past conventions to connect learners in new and powerful ways.
-
Children will be loved and nurtured and will demonstrate excellent rates of progress and academic achievement.
