All contributions and achievements will be recognised and celebrated.
  • The school will treat each of its pupils with respect and ensure that their rights, needs, aspirations and personal preferences remain central to the school’s organisation and they are empowered to benefit from a meaningful, contributing and rewarding adulthood.
