All pupils come to our school with widely varying pre-school experiences and abilities and from a range of religious, social and cultural backgrounds. The ethos of our school encourages staff, parents and pupils to recognise and respect these differences and to use theses a s positive advantages to form the basis of our pupils' learning.

The attitudes and values of those with whom they work, fellow pupils as well as staff and parents affect every aspect of our pupils' education. Therefore, it is essential that they learn about behaviour in a caring environment, which seeks to build self-confidence and esteem.

Our aims are:-

• To encourage, in all pupils, the attitudes of respect, justice and equality.

• To promote equality of opportunity amongst all our pupils.

• To promote good relations between different social, religious, cultural and ethnic backgrounds.

To encourage our pupils to develop a respect for others, we offer learning experiences which:-

• Reflect the diversity of different cultures.

• Encourage positive attitudes towards others.
