We believe in the highest quality education within a secure, caring environment where all members are equally valued in our international community.

THE GENERAL AIMS OF THE SCHOOL:

• To provide for the physical, mental, emotional, moral, spiritual and social needs of the children

• To give the children a secure and safe environment in which they can be nurtured and grow in confidence, respecting the people and property of our community

• To build close links with parents and carers so that they feel at ease with us and are encouraged to be involved in their children’s education

• To work in partnership with Central Government, Local Government, Governors and External Agencies

• To prepare children for a successful career and responsible citizenship

• To create a learning environment in which children and adults feel confident, relaxed, motivated and challenged to produce work of a high quality
