School Mission Statement and Aims 

 

Respecting each other, 

Expecting our best, 

Learning in a happy school. 

 

We feel it is our task to identify the needs of pupils and help them to: 

 

* Develop values and attitudes such as self-respect, curiosity, open-mindedness, justice and fairness; 

 

* Develop skills for intellectual, physical, emotional and social learning; 

 

* Acquire knowledge in a way that encourages concept formation, independent learning and self-assessment; 

 

* Be properly equipped with the skills they will need to have control over their own lives and environment, and to be able to take a positive role in the community; 

 

* Acquire the skills and knowledge necessary for now and for their future family, community and work roles; 

 

* Begin to understand the complex world in which they live; 

 

* Become aware of their environment, locally, nationally and globally, of its ecological importance and the influences of human beings upon it; 

 

* Appreciate, and develop the confidence to contribute to human achievements; 

 

* Value and have confidence in themselves, to care for others and recognise our human interdependence as individuals, groups and nations; 

 

* Learn important social skills through interaction with others, thus enabling them to take responsibility for their own actions and become aware that these have an effect on the wider environment.
