  • knowledge and skills
  • positive attitudes to work
  • a spirit of self reliance, innovation and initiative
  • a sense of wonder
  • respect for the rights and beliefs of others
  • expressive, creative and artistic abilities
  • an appreciation of the beauty of our environment
  • responsibility for caring for the environment
  • responsiblity for caring for the environment
  • tolerance
  • physical, emotional, spiritual health

In working to achieve these aims we aspire to taking the initial steps to enable our pupils to be tolerant, caring and responsible members of our community
