·         Our school ethos is concerned with providing a learning and teaching environment conductive to the holistic development of the child and the formation of right attitudes and values. It is one of mutual respect and co-operation, punctuality and consideration for others.  It strives to develop each child's spiritual, intellectual, emotional, creative and physical potential.
