Our Ethos and Values

Our Ethos and Values reflect our fundamental beliefs and are the core principles that we expect to guide the behaviour of everyone within the school community. Through living and promoting these values, we believe this influences teaching, learning, and promotes the whole school community's feeling of belonging and purpose.

We believe that:

• all of our pupils have the capacity to learn, are entitled to the opportunity to learn and should have access to quality education in order to enable them to learn.
• all of our pupils should be enabled and challenged to reach their full potential.
• many of our pupils are vulnerable – they have the right to be safe and protected.
• each of our pupils is an individual, with individual needs – educational, social, medical, emotional and care. They have the right to have these needs met.
• our pupils have the right to be seen as children first – rather than be defined by their disabilities.

We want our pupils:

• to be happy, safe and secure.
• to feel part of a community and feel valued.
• to have flexible and appropriate inclusion opportunities.
• to have a good quality of life and to have their needs met.
• to be as independent as possible.
• to have access to a quality environment and resources.
• to have a flexible, individualised education.
