The children of Berrywood are relentlessly encouraged to embrace new challenges, and to see mistakes as an opportunity to learn and improve. We help our children to understand that self-esteem and meaningful relationships with others are always founded on their respectful outlook and conduct.

Members of staff are encouraged to evaluate the impact of their work through the success of their pupils. Professional learning, collaborative development, and a strong commitment to the school’s vision characterise a culture of integrity and ambition at Berrywood. Likewise, a concern for the well-being and fulfilment of members of staff is an embedded fundamental at all levels of school leadership.
