Working together in harmony to develop confident, well-educated learners with healthy minds and
bodies, who are independent, resilient, motivated and
committed to lifelong learning
Creating harmony through:•RESPECT – Respecting diversity, showing tolerance and valuing individuals.•RESPONSIBILITY – Being accountable for and reflecting on one’s actions and decisions.•INTEGRITY – Being honest, trustworthy and courageous to do the right thing.•COMPASSION – Caring through our actions and words, tempered with fairness and justice for all.•HUMILITY – The courage to admit when one is wrong, admit when one does not know the answer, and recognise when one’s ideas are not always the best.
Schools are required to demonstrate how we tackle extremism and promote community cohesion. Our values are shared concepts amongst all religions, showing our children that although we are all different, we all share principles.We actively show children that all beliefs and cultures have equal value. •Each year we visit different places of worship (including our Year 3 Christmas assembly in St Andrew’s church) and encourage all children to attend.•We invite visitors from different faith groups to speak to the children about their beliefs.•International evening.•The countries project.•RE & collective worship lessons.•Flags We are a multi-faith school and love to learn and understand each others ideas and beliefs. We need your support in ensuring our children grow up learning to show respect to the beliefs of others.

PE Kits
Children should not miss PE lessons. PE is not optional. It is a legal requirement. Occasionally a child may not be fit to take part and so are encouraged to observe and give feedback. This is to ensure they understand the lesson and are better prepared when they are able to re-join the class. Children will only be excused from the lesson, if the parent has made contact with the teacher.

Last Year’s Non-Uniform Contributions
We had 6 non-uniform days last year and raised a total of:£2133.79
These funds paid for:
The children to watch ‘The Return of Captain Grammaticus’ performed by Quantum Theatre performed

Subsidising year group educational visits where not enough voluntary contributions were collected to cover costs
This year, would like 3 theatre companies to be able to perform for the children. We can only do this if your child brings their £1 contribution on non-uniform day – Thank you for your support
We really need your help so we can continue to have wonderful events like these….
