Our School Aims
We value every one of our pupils and want them to make the very best use of their skills, talents and abilities. To do this we believe all our children should be happy, and have high aspirations. We encourage all our children to respect and value each other and strive to be successful together. We teach our children about the positive aspects of living and working in a rich and diverse community. Discrimination on the basis of colour, culture, origin, gender or disability is not acceptable here, at Laygate Community School. Every member of our school community, children and adults, will endeavour to support this in contributing towards making this school a happy and caring environment which shows respect and appreciation of everyone as individuals who each have a great deal to offer within the complexity of modern British society. We aim to encompass the common elements and values of the the British society at the local, wider and global community level. In this respect, we regard ourselves as a fully inclusive school.
