Our Values and Vision

Our family-centred school endeavours to nurture the individuality of each child in a caring community rich in Christian values. Our vision is that each child develops a love for learning in a creative and stimulating environment where they can achieve their potential and live life to the full.

This vision is rooted in Scripture and Christian theology. We hold a daily act of collective worship focusing on one of our twelve school values. A single value is the focus for a term, is lived out in the daily life of the school and is at the heart of our ethos.

Each week, a child is nominated by their peers for demonstrating the value and are given Sir Value (the school bear) for safekeeping.

Midday supervisors also give a weekly award for the child who has best demonstrated the value.

OUR VALUE THIS TERM IS: TRUTHFULNESS

“I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.”

John 10:10

Caring

Friendship, Thankfulness, Generosity, Compassion

The Bible tells us to ‘Love your neighbour as yourself’ and Jesus uses the Parable of the Good Samaritan to illustrate that our neighbour is anyone who needs our help (Luke 10:25-37).

Believing

Forgiveness, Trust, Truthfulness, Respect

In the Bible Jesus tells us, ‘I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full’ (John 10:10) and many people who meet Jesus are transformed as illustrated by Zacchaeus the Tax Collector (Luke 19:1-10).

Achieving

Encouragement, Courage, Creativity, Perseverance

In the Bible Jesus performs many miracles as illustrated when a boy offers five small barley loaves and two small fish and Jesus uses them to feed a crowd of five thousand people (John 6:5-15).

In April 2019, the school received its Statutory Inspection as a Church of England (Anglican) School.
