inquisitive and to have the skills of enquiry and critical thinking, drawing on their love of reading.
Our curriculum is used as a basis to stimulate children’s learning in a creative inclusive way. This cross curricular approach engages children and supports their understanding of what happens in the wider world. As most of our children live in small villages, we want to enhance the children's pride in their local area, but also to widen their understanding of the
larger world.
We want them to share our values of respect for all groups of people as well as themselves, in order that they can become active, kind and generous citizens of the world.

We provide a safe caring environment for children to learn in, ensuring that all aspects (including e-safety) are addressed.
