MISSION STATEMENT
We achieve the aims of our Mission Statement by:
- Promoting within each child a positive self image.
- Encouraging and sustaining each child’s natural curiosity and spontaneity, promoting the development of a lively, enquiring mind through involvement in a variety of relevant and challenging first-hand experiences.
- Enabling children to acquire and develop a range of skills and concepts, with the ability to apply these in all areas of the curriculum.
- Developing children’s ability to use all forms of communication, recognise purpose and choose the most appropriate medium in which to express themselves.
- Encouraging all children to live in social harmony; to have respect and tolerance of other races, religions and cultures and to understand the world in which they live.
- Helping children to formulate a code of moral values and understand the ways in which their actions and decisions affect others.
- Developing the ability and willingness to co-operate with others and recognise the interdependence of human relationships.
- Helping children to find pleasure in the exploration of their imagination, senses and feelings, and by providing a full range of creative experiences.

All children have an equal Entitlement to the above.
