• Adults ensure that pupils who are at risk of falling behind receive the precise support they need in order to keep up.
• Pupils are encouraged to share their views in many ways, such as through the school council, eco council or values council.

The impact of our school vision is clearly seen throughout every section of this report.  We are deeply committed to ensuring that all children in our school will feel that they belong to our school family and are valued.  They will believe in themselves, and their potential, and they will be well supported to thrive throughout their time in our school.  This will be happen because staff have high expectations of all children and the curriculum builds children’s knowledge, skills and understanding over time. 

The ethos that exists through our school enables children to develop and grow their own aspirations and work hard to achieve their best.  We are incredibly proud of the children and all that they achieve with us.
