Vision & Values
'Be courageous; Be strong; Do everything in love.'
(1 Corinthians 16: 13-14)
Our vision is to create a caring, inclusive Christian school community where everyone belongs and everyone is valued. We strive for excellence through developing the courage to take on all challenges. We do this by nurturing confident, independent individuals, with a lifelong love of learning. Our inclusive approach and inspirational curriculum enables all to flourish.
The values which underpin this vision are:
Respect
Independence
Community
Kindness
From our themed weeks to residential visits, from practical hands-on activities in lessons to stimulating texts in English and reasoning problems in maths, we are challenged on our journey through learning, acquiring knowledge and making the most of the opportunities given.
Our Christian community is seen through everything we do - from the way we treat and nurture each other, to the way we work and learn together. The children know and recognise these values in themselves and others.
As a Church of England, school our strong links with St. John the Baptist, our village church, enhance our learning and understanding of what it means to belong and to care for our local community and beyond.
Aspiring to reach challenging goals, to try something new, to be resilient and then celebrate achievements is what drives us forward; no matter our starting points or background. Children and staff are encouraged to make the most of opportunities on their learning journey in a nurturing and stimulating environment.
School Prayer
This is our school,
Let peace dwell here,
Let the room be full of contentment,
Let love abide here,
Love of one another,
Love of mankind,
Love of life itself,
And love of God.
Let us remember that as many hands build a house,
So many hearts make a school.
Amen
