• Support the principals of “Every Child Matters” by providing a safe, healthy, supportive and stimulating learning environment in which each child is treated as an individual and the needs of all are considered.

• Encourage children to work hard and enjoy and achieve a high standard of education by delivering a balanced and carefully planned curriculum which meets the needs of your child and the requirements of the National Curriculum.

• Encourage children to behave appropriately and take pride and pleasure in their own achievements and others’ achievements, and learn how to become a good citizen.

• Set a planned program of homework activities that support your child’s learning and keep you fully informed about your child’s progress.
