Together we build a Christian foundation of love, care, respect and forgiveness for all members of our school family. These deeply embedded values influence our whole lives and community, permeating everything we are and do. Our love is not just words and talk, it is true love, shown in our actions.
Our Values
Our family community is built upon core Christian Values which are at the heart of all we do. These are love, care, respect, forgiveness and excellence. Yet, we are never limited to just these five strong values and regularly focus on other important ones, helping us to appreciate what being a more rounded Christian is like.
As a Church of England school we try very hard to live out our five key Christian values. They are at the heart of all we do. Here are some examples:
Our behaviour policy is based on forgiveness with every child being given the chance to improve.
Nurture is at our heart, we show love in all we do and believe that every child can achieve.
Our results have been successful because the leaders trust staff to be innovative and impart excellence to our children.
Our children are well behaved and good mannered because care for each other and togetherness is at our heart - adults model, children learn.
