Our values:

Within our restorative community we have three core values of :

Respect, responsibility and resilience

By respecting ourselves and each other we ensure that everyone in our community has a voice which is valued.

We take responsibility for ourselves, our actions and our community to ensure it is a happy, safe and caring place to be.

In building resilience we are equipped to take on challenges, have high aspirations and be successful in everything we do.

By working in partnership with our parents and instilling these values our children develop the skills to be good citizens who will go on to enhance and inspire their communities and future generations.
