Mission Statement: 'A safe, caring and supportive learning environment'
School Culture: We value children, teachers, support staff and parents/caregivers.
We
- have a child centred philosophy
- value each person in our school community
- have good communication between school and home
- value reading, writing and mathematics
- take pride in our physical environment
- encourage each person to take responsibility for their own learning and behaviour
Resources:
Resource strengths include a caring, dedicated and enthusiastic staff and a Board of Trustees committed to maintaining high standards. Classrooms are attractive and the grounds are spacious and well maintained.
We have at least two computers in every classroom and a 'pod' of eight laptops that circulate around the rooms for children to use. Our library is well resourced and managed and we have modern audio-visual equipment, Reading Recovery and current curriculum resources.
We are a Duffy 'Books in Homes' school.
Please feel free to visit at anytime during normal school hours and see the school at work - we welcome visitors!
