Montpellier will work in partnership with parents and the community to empower our students to live in and contribute to a rapidly changing society and to become responsible, independent children who care about others and their environment. We encourage everyone to have a sense of belonging and pride in the whole school community. Our aims for the pupils are that they should:

  • Be happy, confident and enjoy learning.
