The school aims to encourage the children to learn to work hard and to enjoy reading, not only in order to succeed, but to discover the satisfaction which rewards sustained effort. Emphasis is placed on excellence and endeavour in academic work, leisure, sporting activities and service to the community. As a foundation for all else, the school wants the children to be happy, determined and resilient. While learning to be honest, courteous and self- disciplined members of the community, to be as much concerned about the happiness of others as about their own. It is therefore important that the school remains small enough for the children to be well known to the staff and to preserve something of a family atmosphere.

The school commenced in September 2010 with the Early Years section only  and will gradually increase its intake until it reaches its full complement of classes. The school year is divided into three terms, Michaelmas, Lent and Trinity, each of which has a half term holiday.
