This approach can be seen in all we do whether it is how we teach in classrooms, the opportunities children have to learn in a wide range of contexts, our regular celebrations of learning, strong remedial programmes for those needing targeted support, and teacher aides and learning assistant helping in our classrooms.
As a community we value partnership.
