Our Christian Values

Together we Love, we Aim High and we Celebrate!

1 Corinthians chapter 13 vs 4-8

Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant 5 or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;[a] 6 it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. 7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

One of the CofE prayers, or collects, for the Platinum Jubilee year:

Gracious God, we give you thanks
for the reign of your servant Elizabeth our Queen,
and for the example of loving and faithful service
which she has shown among us.
Help us to follow her example of dedication
and to commit our lives to you and to one another,
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.

Our Aims:

To provide a welcoming and compassionate community in which all are equally valued for who they are, developing in children a love of learning and a desire to continue to expand their knowledge and skills throughout their lives.

To encourage the experience of Christian life and participation in worship. We have close links with the Parish Church and children regularly worship in the church. Provide an atmosphere where diversity is celebrated.

To encourage children to have a sense of belonging and responsibility towards others in our school community, the local community and the wider world. For all children to feel protected and safe.

To provide a creative and well planned curriculum which enables all children to achieve the highest standard of work and learning of which he/she is capable and at the same time develop lively and enquiring minds. We want our children to be inspired by the quality of teaching and we encourage our children to have high expectations of their learning and achievement and to become imaginative, creative young people who can ask questions, make links and solve problems.

To help children to understand the importance of good health and a healthy lifestyle and to ensure they know how to stay safe.

To work together with parents forging strong home school partnerships.

To create a stimulating environment in and around the school, in order to promote cultural, aesthetic and spiritual awareness.

To allow children the space to play imaginatively and cooperatively, developing independence and resilience.

The school’s policy of inclusive education applies equally to all adults and children who work here regardless of gender, religion, race, background, specific difficulty or physical ability.
