Action Plans
Vision:
We strive to equip our pupils with skills for the future with a drive to develop the use of technology for learning across all subjects to better prepare our children for the demands of the 21st century workplace, with the belief that effective use of technology in lessons enhances and extends student learning.
It is key that we ensure our children are 'life-ready' and not simply 'work ready' by delivering a personalised learning approach with strong foundations in social and emotional skills through developing a growth mindset.
