It is our determination to ensure that every aspect of our practice, our planning and our curriculum is the best it can possibly be. We have an ethos of evaluation and reflection that ensures we continually challenge our thinking; there is no room for complacency in our work. We are characterised by high expectations and ambition, demonstrating a ‘why not’ mind-set at every opportunity.
