- Responsibility - We show responsibility by making positive choices and understanding that our words and actions have impact on others. This means we make positive choices for: keeping the school and its surroundings clean and tidy, respecting your own and other people’s display and work. Making the school a welcoming place of which we are all proud.

- Integrity - We show integrity by being truthful, open and honest.
- Ambition - We show ambition by making sure we use all opportunities to learn and reach our targets.
