Aims and Ethos

We are a restorative school; this means we focus on positive relationships and work with our pupils rather than doing things to or for them. We believe that children (and adults!) are happier, more cooperative and productive, and more likely to make positive changes in their behaviour when people in positions of authority do things with them, rather than to them or for them.


The foundations for this are built on our values; these are the qualities that we look for in the children, and in each other as adults! Our six school values are:

- Courage - it can sometimes to take courage to speak out
- Integrity - doing the right thing even when it may not be the easiest thing
- Inclusion - embracing and welcoming each other’s differences
- Kindness - to others and ourselves
- Respect - for adults as well as each other
- Unity - working together and in the school as a whole to reach our potential.
