Be the best we can be: encourage and support every child to achieve their full potential in all areas of school life -academically, physically, emotionally, morally and spiritually - and celebrate their achievements. Be a learning community, encompassing the children, staff, parents, the local village community and the Abbey at its heart, with a strong sense of shared trust, support, and collaboration.
