The future for our children is uncertain and the challenges that face them may not have even been conceived by the human mind. In addition to teaching children skills and knowledge, we at Coleridge think that it is essential to teach children values which will be fundamentally useful, regardless of the ever-changing political and educational landscapes. These core values, which we seek to instil in our children, are therefore central to Coleridge and underpin all that goes on in the school.

We therefore encourage our children and the wider school community to be:

• Creative
• Caring
• Resilient

Through teaching these values, the school hopes to inspire children to become creative problem solvers, ready to thrive and succeed in the 21^st Century. We aim to give children a positive first experience of learning and to make them responsible citizens who appreciate the value of community.
