They are:

• To be an exciting and dynamic school, in which children acquire a thirst for knowledge and a love of learning.
• To promote the importance of moral, spiritual and social values, inspired by the school's underlying Christian ethos.  To develop the academic, creative and sporting talents of each child, ensuring a broad and balanced education of the whole person.
• To value every individual's talents and interests, encouraging our children to take pride in their own achievements while also celebrating those of others.
• To be a school that is outward looking - building links with parents and the local community, as well as appreciating the rich diversity of cultures from around the world.
• To be a safe and distinctly happy school where children really feel they belong - where they can laugh, be spontaneous and enjoy being children.
• To enable those leaving The Paragon to move on to Prior Park College or other senior schools as confident, capable, compassionate and independent minded young people.
