its outlook, non-racist, non-sexist and
which does not promote any one religious
or political creed to the exclusion of
others. |

reason and tolerance as a means towards
conflict resolution, rather than to
resort to aggression and coercion. |
| |
To ensure that learning is enjoyable and
that pupils at the School are provided

the heart of the learning process, to
make this the basis of our own teaching
