They will have opportunities to influence their own learning through age appropriate and progressive themes and topics. Effective learning characteristics including being ambitious, reflective and imaginative will drive teaching and learning.

Our children will have a confident set of skills, knowledge, norms and Christian values which can be used to get ahead in education and life more generally.
