Our School Ethos
The first aim of this Church in Wales school is to attempt to create an ethos and environment in which children are able to work in a relaxed and happy manner to the best of their ability and in which they can form relationships of mutual respect for each other and for the adults who work with them. It is an important part of this aim that the children become aware of the role of Christianity in providing a model to live by and standards of caring and fellowship to be aimed at as well as being a vehicle through which feelings of awe and worship are expressed. In developing respect for and empathy with each other the children should acquire an awareness of themselves as part of the community and begin to realise the interdependence of people in society.
