We aim to provide an atmosphere in which all
children can reach their full potential, where the
individual needs of all children are met, valued and

needs of the children in an inclusive way through a combination of in-class support and individual
withdrawal. We aim to develop positive self-esteem and positive attitudes about school and learning in
all our pupils.
