How we achieve this
We achieve this by following the project 25 values. After consulting stakeholders, local businesses and community partners, the school look to develop the whole child and set and inbed characteristics that the child can use as lifelong learning. Hence- Project 25 development for when the individual is 25 years old.
These characteristics (Golden Threads) include:
