Ethos and values Our ethos Our school has a strong ethos of encouraging our pupils to work for excellence in every endeavour, to develop an enquiring mind, and to acquire a love of learning. Whilst aiming for the highest standards of academic education, we also promote a strong moral ethos based on Christian principles to provide our pupils with a sound moral compass to conduct their lives within contemporary British life. The school nurtures the children in the best of British and Welsh values, and celebrates the Welsh language and culture as part of a wider Welsh community in London. Our mission statement Our school mission is to serve our community by providing an inclusive and safe environment where we work to enable our children to develop into confident lifelong learners and responsible global citizens. We follow the Welsh Curriculum which provides interesting and challenging opportunities to motivate our children. A love of learning is fostered through exploring, discovering and investigating cross curricular topics. Numeracy, Literacy and Digital Competency is embedded throughout all learning experiences and provides a foundation for children to reach their full potential, preparing them to become responsible global citizens and future leaders in an ever- changing world.
