'Unlocking Potential; Transforming Lives'

Our Statement of Intent is ‘Unlocking Potential, Transforming lives’. This means that we want to unlock the potential and transform the lives of all members of our school community.  

For our children, this may be removing barriers to ensure they approach their secondary education, equipped socially, emotionally and academically; for others it may be unlocking a hidden music skill which shapes their future. 

For our staff, this may be providing opportunities to help them progress professionally. 

For our parents, this may be removing barriers to help them access adult education. 

For our wider community, this may be helping them to attend a school social event to prevent loneliness and encourage volunteering at future events. 

To enable us to achieve the above, all members of the school adhere to the Core Values of: 

• Safety 

• Ready to Learn 

• Working Together 

• High Expectations 

• Integrity in all that we do.
