At Lea Valley Primary School we value all members of the school community as individuals who are involved in teaching and learning.
We recognize that positive behavior and social skills provide a sound basis for working, sharing, and playing together. We consider the physical, intellectual, and emotional atmosphere of the school environment should enable individuals to feel good about themselves and believe in themselves as learners.
