Home-School Agreement
Our Vision
Our vision is to be the first choice school for parents within the area. We will create an inspiring environment using innovative education practices to develop all pupils to realise their full potential.
Our Mission
Our mission is to create happy, confident, life-long learners in a safe, rewarding and nurturing environment.
Our Aims
We put the development of our pupils at the heart of everything we do. We will do this through an exciting and challenging curriculum using courageous and innovative teaching practices both in and outside of the classroom. We will support our pupils every step of the way to help them achieve more than they ever thought possible.
We will grow confident learners providing our pupils with a range of skills that enable them to adapt and succeed both inside and outside the classroom. By laying firm foundations pupils will be equipped with a full range of practical and emotional abilities, ultimately creating confident and inquisitive individuals with a life-long love for learning.
We use our unique location on the edge of the Lake District to our full advantage, developing pupils who love the outdoors, are knowledgeable about the environment and become engaged with their community.
Our Ethos
Our school shall be a place where individual voices are encouraged and valued, together forming a collaborative community where all pupils, staff, parents and governors work together to bring out the very best in each other. Respectful, tolerant and brave, our pupils will have the confidence and resilience to encourage each other to overcome adversity and speak out for what is right.
