Our ethos and aims

In partnership, our ethos is what sets us apart and our aims are to:

• Provide a welcoming, safe, secure, inclusive and stimulating learning environment where every child flourishes.
• Deliver a richly creative, broad and stimulating curriculum that will ignite curiosity and feed a thirst for knowledge.
• Provide high standards of teaching and learning through challenge, support, encouragement and praise.
• Offer outstanding pastoral care where our children will thrive in an enabling environment, where relationships between staff, pupils and families are strong.
• Develop our children’s self-confidence, resilience and self-esteem so they feel proud of themselves, proud of their achievements and proud of their school.
• Provide opportunities for pupils to engage and practise a range of skills, including social and cognitive skills, trying out new possibilities and discovering new challenges, ultimately leading to a deeper learning experience.
• Equip our children with the knowledge, skills and values they need to grow and flourish in a challenging, changing and complex world, to live fulfilling lives, and make a positive contribution to society.
• Value children’s happiness and emotional wellbeing, and embody a culture of kindness, friendship and thoughtfulness.
• Respect, value and include everyone in our community, regardless of race, religion, culture or ability.
• Encourage and enable the continuous professional and personal development of our staff, including emotional and physical wellbeing.
• Ensure a seamless, successful and smooth transition between the key stages within our school, from entry into our pre-school, to when our pupils move on to secondary school.
• Work collaboratively with all Hounslow schools and promote a rigorous culture of review, reflection, challenge and support, drawing on the skills and expertise in all our schools.
