  • appreciate that taking risks and making mistakes develops resilience
  • become confident independent learners with inquiring minds
  • understand that the process of overcoming challenges fuels creativity
  • recognise that learning is an active, collaborative and lifelong process
  • develop both self-discipline and self-awareness
  • respect and value each other’s differences, beliefs, opinions and ideas
  • play an active and caring role within the school and local communities
  • seek and embrace opportunities
  • maintain a healthy lifestyle
  • develop into highly motivated global citizens
  • be happy in themselves and enjoy an optimistic outlook

The school mission statement and ethos have been developed in consultation with representatives from Governors, Parents, Carers, students, support staff and teachers.
