We are delighted to share our mission statement and vision for Canaan Lane Primary School. These were developed over session 2022-23 (and refined in 2024-25) in collaboration with our learners, staff and parents. Together, we have shared our hopes and dreams for our school and continue to use these to build on our foundations for learning as our new school grows and develops.
