Building
futures
So are school days the happiest
of our lives? Some of us will
look back with fond memories,
but will the same be true for
children at school today?
We all want our children to be
happy. In the Junior School we
believe the breadth of education
offered is important, with children
having the opportunity to feel
valued for their academic, sporting
or creative achievement. Growth
inspires greater confidence, and
this leads to more success, possibly
in new areas. Within a small,
caring community, individuals can
be challenged and, as necessary,
supported along the way. Low
expectations are self-fulfilling, so
children need to be caught up in
learning, excited by realistic goals
and given an unmistakable feeling
of well being.
