Our Ethos and Values
At Pottery we work hard to create a positive, challenging and happy learning environment through which all learners continually aspire to learn.
We want our pupils to enjoy coming to school and therefore believe that education should be interesting, stimulating and fun. Our curriculum develops the key skills to enable our pupils to be ready for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of adult life.
