Your Journey to a Fulfilling Life

Our aim is for pupils to develop a joy of learning, and our school motto reflects this, having been inspired by other inspirational professionals who share mutual aims in respect of education.

Our motto, “Dream, Believe, Achieve” promotes thinking about what might be possible; realising that it can be possible and then making it happen.

At all Key Stages, our curriculum is structured to help pupils to secure success:

  • academically,
  • personally, and developmentally, and
  • in life beyond school.

First Aid, Health and Medical Needs

Our school has a medical room and provides safe storage of medication. As part of staff induction, most staff complete a Basic First Aid Training course suitable for schools, and a three yearly refresher course.

Individualised Risk Assessments will be produced, agreed with parents and carers, and implemented for pupils with specific health needs, e.g. epilepsy, asthma, severe allergies requiring risk management and use of epi-pen.

Risk Management

One of our key roles is to support pupils to live and function safely in life, able to identify and manage risks effectively. On joining our school, many pupils may display ‘risk taking’ behaviours. We have rigorous procedures to ensure everyone’s safety, including using a range of risk assessments to help staff identify and minimise risks to and from pupils, staff and the public, and all curriculum activities and the environment.

Anti-Bullying

Everyone in our school community is entitled to feel valued, safe and protected from harm, including bullying. Our staff team work hard with pupils to ensure they are proud of contributing to the warm, caring atmosphere in school.

The pupil and staff community come from a diverse range of backgrounds and cultures. Pupils have a range of needs, difficulties, and diagnoses. All of these attributes bring opportunities for us to raise awareness about difference, promote tolerance and understanding, address misconceptions and prejudices, and challenge discrimination. Our curriculum teaches and promotes British Values of tolerance, respect, equality and diversity and bullying is responded to immediately by staff.

Personal Development, Attitudes and Behaviour

We focus on developing the whole child. This is because, if a pupil is not mentally healthy and has social and emotional difficulties, this might mean they are not ready for learning and can result in a negative attitude and inappropriate behaviours.

Our School:

  • helps pupils to develop into responsible, respectful, and active citizens,
  • promotes equality of opportunity in an inclusive environment,
  • develops pupils’ self-esteem, confidence, and resilience so they can keep themselves mentally healthy,
  • develops pupils’ character, nurturing the qualities they need to be successful in society and life beyond school.
