Community

We want our children to feel a connection with the area in which they live and a sense of place. We believe this builds a sense of belonging and identity. We want our children to also build a sense of belonging within the world and LEARN to respect the rights, equality and diversity of all, both within their immediate community and around the world, without discrimination. We want our children to GROW into responsible, fair, active and contributing citizens, with a belief that they can ACHIEVE and make a difference to their own and others’ lives.

Reflection

We want our children to LEARN how to think for themselves, see things from a range of perspectives and analyse their own learning. We want children to GROW their self-belief through reflecting, making judgments and evaluating their own development in order to ACHIEVE to the best of their ability. We believe that through reflection comes improvement which leads to self-worth and independent thought.

Curiosity

We want our children to be curious about the world in which they live and have a thirst to LEARN more. We want children to GROW a love for the natural world and connect by asking questionings and making discoveries. We believe that when children are curious learners, they ACHIEVE a sense of identify and self-worth which promotes an understanding of meaning and purpose through awe and wonder.

Self-motivation

We want our children to be confident and to be motivated to LEARN. We want children to GROW in self-belief and approach challenges with a can-do attitude. We believe in the importance of commitment, independence and determination in order to ACHIEVE goals. We want our children to develop a positive mind-set and to overcome problems with solutions through persevering.
