“At Livingstone, we are proud to be an inclusive school which provides a high quality, creative and challenging education. We celebrate our differences whilst bringing together children and the community using clear values and principles. We are aware that our pupils bring different experiences, interests and strengths, which will influence the way they learn and develop their independence. Our secure, caring and happy environment encourages children to have high expectations of themselves in all aspects of school life.”
