School Ethos and Aims

Mab’s Cross Primary School's aims, policies and practices are designed to create a learning community where everyone can experience success. Our school is a place where everyone develops and achieves the best they can, both academically and personally. This is represented by our school motto:

                                                 “Bringing out the best in everyone.”

We believe that all members of our school community have the right to work and learn in an environment where children:

• become confident, resourceful, enquiring and independent learners 
• develop self-esteem and build positive relationships with others;
• develop children’s self-respect, encourage them to understand the ideas, attitudes and values of others, and teach them to respect other people’s feelings;
• show respect for a diverse range of cultures and, in so doing, promote positive attitudes towards others;
• understand their community, and help them feel valued as part of it;
• grow into reliable, independent and positive citizens.

Education is a responsibility shared between parents, children and school staff. We encourage parents/carers to work in partnership with the school and community. Our school has a pivotal role in the community.
