We are independent
Linked closely to our core value of engagement is our awareness that, in order for children to be fully engaged in their learning they must possess the skills needed to be effective independent learners.
From reception to Year 6 we explicitly teach and develop our children's ability to ensure that they are able to manage themselves as learners and people, as we believe that without this skill our children will not achieve their full potential and be ready for the next stage in their learning.
