The school community is caring and challenging, where children grow in confidence. Each child has a significant place in this community, contributing varied abilities and gifts and experiencing its support. The school has a contribution to make to its neighbourhood, and values contacts with people in the area.

These subjects are usually taught through general topics that relate the different subjects under one title. The school also provides teaching programmes on Health issues, which includes Sex Education. In addition lessons on Religious Education form a part of the children’s learning experiences.
