Our Church School
Our vision as a church school is that all children will be secure and happy and feel safe in the nurturing environment of our school and its community. We want our children to strive to be the best they can be. Our vision is rooted in our Christian distinctiveness and values of Joy, Service, Truth, Trust, Determination Courage, Friendship and Respect. We believe these give the children solid foundations from which they can grow and be secure with who they are and can be.
Because we are a Church school, we aim to provide the very best for every child. They are all unique and precious children of God and through nurturing them spiritually, morally, socially and culturally as well as academically, we provide better foundations on which they can become self-aware and compassionate young people.
We promote Christian values through daily acts of collective worship and our school policies. These values are implicit in the way all members of our community interact with one another. We have very close links with the Church and clergy.
We are a happy, purposeful and inclusive school, a place where people look forward to going to – children, teachers, parents/carers, governors and visitors.
Values Trophy
In memory of Mrs Roz Clark
In every celebration assembly we award the values trophy to a child who is living out our school values.
Father, as we celebrate this season of thanksgiving we give thanks for the blessings of food, provision and nourishment. Please grow in us a harvest for the world. Come sow a seed of hope within our souls Lord, that we might yield goodness, patience and kindness in abundance.
