Our aim is to create a safe and stimulating environment within a caring community, where children feel happy and secure. We want every child to reach their full potential in all areas of school life knowing they are cared for and supported by their parents and teachers together. We share parents’ expectations and feel it is extremely important to build a mutually supportive partnership between home and school. We expect high standards in behaviour, relationships with other children and adults and in all aspects of work and play.

We enjoy showing families around Tame Valley to see teaching and learning in action. Parents can pick up the ‘feel’ of the school at this time and see how children and staff relate to each other. Ours is a happy, secure and successful learning environment.
