It is important that children have a strong sense of belonging. As they get older that sense of belonging becomes wider. For that reason we believe that children should be introduced to different parts of the community in a safe and structured way.

This could be by working with peers from other schools (For more information on the Chesil Collaboration click below) or by gaining first hand experience of working alongside community partners.

Here are some of the ways that we build community links:

• Working with other local schools
• Having an international school link
• Engaging with religious leaders in the local area
• Engaging in community projects such as Active Across Ages
• Being good role models in our local community
• Volunteering in community projects
