I want children to achieve academically but also socially, morally, and creatively.  I will do my utmost to create an environment in which children will thrive and learn to love learning.  I want them to value and be valued.  When they look back to their days at Cherry Tree Primary, I want them to be able to appreciate what they were given and how much they gave during the time they were preparing for their future.” Eileen Heaphy, Headteacher.
