The school’s motto is, ‘A fo ben bid don't (which translates as ‘the leader will be a bridge’) and, as a 3-19 School, we confident that we can help our pupils to move smoothly along an educational continuum. The school’s staff are dedicated in terms of ensuring guidance and support every step of the way and we are always prepared to listen to your views as pupils, parents/guardians, and friends of the school to continually improve our provision.

The Pupil Deprivation Grant (PDG) is allocated to schools with pupils who come from low-income families and are currently known to be eligible for free school meals (FSM) and pupils who have been looked after continuously for more than six months (LAC). Schools are expected to make the best use of this funding to implement sustainable strategies that will quickly bring about changes for learners eligible for free school meals or who are LAC.
Our aims:
- To develop a behavior policy that is supported and followed by the whole school community (parents, staff members, and pupils) based on a sense of community and shared values
- To create a caring family atmosphere in which teaching and learning can take place in a safe and happy environment
- To teach, through the school curriculum, values and attitudes as well as knowledge and skills to promote responsible behavior, encourage self-discipline, and encourage in children a respect for themselves, for other people, and property
- To ensure that all staff members model positive values, attitudes, and behavior
- To encourage good behavior rather than to simply punish bad behavior by providing a range of rewards for pupils of all ages and abilities
- To make clear to pupils the distinction between minor and more serious misbehavior and the range of sanctions that will follow
- To respond appropriately and effectively to poor behavior and to treat problems when they occur in a caring and sympathetic manner in the hope of achieving an improvement in behavior
- To develop the pupils’ self-regulation skills, and support them in developing strategies for dealing with anger, frustration, worry, and anxiety, which may be the root course of behavioral manifestations, and to support pupils in developing independent behavioral modification strategies.
