Ethos and aims
Our ethos
We are a close-knit community full of happy, enthusiastic children where kindness is a key value and talked about every day. The intentions of the school’s founders remain at the forefront of our rationale. This is to be a forward-thinking school that educates children without a hot-house approach, encouraging them to flourish creatively and to enjoy the process of learning. Children leave us interested in the world around them and excited to embrace new challenges.
The Unicorn Code
We also have a Unicorn Code, which is reviewed annually by the children on the School Council together with Mrs Fraley.
Our aims
- To have the child and family at the heart of everything we do
- To maintain a happy, welcoming environment for children, families and staff
- To prepare our children to be the best they can be and to establish a lifelong love of learning
- To have high expectations and to recognise that success comes in many forms
- To celebrate the kindness, individuality, diversity, talents and achievements of our pupils
- For learning to be enhanced by a broad curriculum which is embedded with creativity
- To make the most of our small size and generous staff to pupil ratio to be able to know all our children really well and foster them as individuals
- To promote emotional, physical, aesthetic, social and intellectual growth.
“Still, words like unicorn and rainbow can be misleading – this is not a fluffy, cuddly academic vacuum, but a serious place of learning and development.”
