SDP: School Development Plan

BARMING PRE-SCHOOL & PRIMARY SCHOOL PLAN ON A PAGE 2024-25

 

Our focus is on developing the whole child, giving them the best possible chance of realising their true potential. We support our children in being healthy and happy, with a keen sense of who they are and where they might go in life.

Respect                                Responsibility                                             Wisdom                                             Courage

 

Our values act as a compass. They help us navigate the big decisions and guide our everyday actions - throughout the good and the tough times. They are an integral part of our DNA and help all those connected to the school know what is expected of them and what they can expect of us.

Be kind, be safe, be responsible and make good choices.
