  • Develop confident, enquiring and resourceful learners, able to make informed choices and to apply their learning in different contexts.
  • Encourage a love of learning in all adults and children within our community.
  • Encourage self-esteem and personal responsibility, linked to respect for the needs and feelings of others.
