Our Values, Vision & Focus

Learning for happiness, safety and success.

In collaboration with our pupils, families, teachers and the wider community we have explored and refined our approach to learning and life here at Sedbergh Primary School. We have considered and discussed the beliefs, attitues and ideas that underpin our thinking and decision making. We want to prepare our children for life in a modern and diverse world and equip them with the skills and knowledge they need to be happy and successful.
