The mission of Sutton P.S. is to provide a positive, caring and safe learning environment where staff, students, parents and community are partners to develop and celebrate the social and academic growth of every child. At our school, we work to 'InspireLearning' for all our students by developing effective learning partnerships and active engagement in the areas of student achievement and well-being. Respect plays an important role in our school. At Sutton, we create and maintain a healthy and productive working and learning environment that fosters respect for, and is supportive of, the dignity, self-esteem and fair treatment of everyone taking part in its activities.
