One of our fundamental aims is to educate the whole child and to help them be happy, experiencing success and a sense of satisfaction in work well done, thereby increasing their self respect and willingness to persevere.
Once a week our school gathers together for our Certificate Assembly. This is the time when we celebrate the achievements our children have made, either at home or at school, during the previous week.
