Welcoming and Inclusive

Our school provides a welcoming and inclusive environment where children are empowered to become confident life long learners who strive for excellence with  a strong sense of belonging.

Together we foster values and dispositions that encourage our children to make a positive contribution and thrive in our global society.

Our school values of respect, empathy, inclusivity and excellence underpin everything we do at Brighton.

Our agreed learning dispositions; we are thinkers, we are curious, we are balanced, we are resilient, we are communicators and we are responsible, provide a focus for our teaching and learning. This provides a common language across our school to talk about what it means to do ‘good learning’.
