Our principal purpose is straightforward.  We want every child at Amesbury to enjoy his or her time at school; to feel valued as individuals, in an environment where their talents can prosper to the benefit of the community. So when the time comes to leave us, each will do so with their confidence high, skills sharpened and personalities rounded.

More specifically we aim to:

• Develop in every child the necessary skills, aptitudes and abilities to enable them to move on to senior school and beyond as emotionally resilient, autonomous learners.
• Develop a caring community within the school by encouraging commitment, courtesy, co-operation, tolerance and compassion towards one another whilst understanding that each individual is a member of a wider community.
• Promote and nurture a close relationship between home and school in the partnership of education.
• Provide pupils with a model of how an excellent organisation is run, one in which there is a culture of high achievement, a willingness to adapt and a propensity for innovation.
• Create circumstances in which all members of staff have the opportunity for personal development and feel able to make the fullest of contributions to school life.
• Fulfil our social and environmental responsibilities to society
