Our ‘ Magic Eight’ Core Values
I don't give up. I try new things. I always respect others. I try my best to concentrate.
I try my best to be motivated. I always try my best to improve.
I imagine ( there are no limits to my learning). I push myself.
As a school community we have given great consideration to our school values. They help us understand how we can positively contribute to school and our wider community. We work hard to put these values and behaviours into practice in our daily lives.
British Values

Through assemblies, themed weeks and events linked to current affairs we promote spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. Children learn about the basic British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance for different faiths and beliefs in order to prepare them for life in modern Britain.
