Our Vision Statement
We promote a happy, secure and caring environment where learning is enjoyable and rewarding for both children and adults.
We provide a broad and balanced curriculum which enables children to develop positive values and attitudes, skills and knowledge, within a co-operative and supportive framework.

Happy, Caring, Safe
Key Value - Co-operative Values
John of Gaunt school is part of the Aylsham Learning Federation (ALF) with Bure Valley School and Aylsham High School. John of Gaunt is also part of The Aylsham Cluster Trust (TACT). TACT has chosen to adopt a co-operative trust model. We have done this because we believe that the greatest energy for change and development comes from within our own communities.
Our work is underpinned by the co-operative values:
- Self-help - we help people to help themselves
- Self-responsibility - we take responsibility for, and answer to our actions
- Democracy - we give our members a say in the way we run our organisation
- Equality - we are genuinely inclusive and pursue success for everyone
- Solidarity - we share interests and common purposes with our members and other co-operatives
Our ethical values are:
- Openness - nobody’s perfect, and we will not hide it when we are not
- Honesty - we are honest about what we do and the way we do it
- Social responsibility - we encourage people to take responsibility for their own community and work together to improve it
- Caring for others - we are a nurturing community that takes care of each other and we regularly support charities and local community groups
“It takes a Whole Community to Educate a Child”
