Our School Vision

Confident, capable learners in a caring community

“Stretching minds, bodies and horizons”

Skelton’s mission to ‘develop confident, capable learners in a caring community’ is embedded across the school.  All staff are dedicated to ensuring that every pupil thrives in both their academic achievement and personal development.

• Learning is enjoyable but challenging
• Learners are supported appropriately and effectively
• Learners understand the importance of health to their well-being
