We believe that an understanding of, and deep commitment to, shared values by each member of our school community is of fundamental importance in every aspect of school life. The nine values - kindness, respect, commitment, enthusiasm, responsibility, grace, appreciation, confidence and integrity - are recognised and followed by all members of the school community and, as a result, we are confident that our boys and girls will grow up to be, in simple terms, good people who will make a positive difference to the world in which they will live and work. Every child made to feel loved.
