Belonging, Believing, Succeeding Together

‘I have come that you may have life, and have it to the full.’ (John 10:10)

 

Belonging: Everyone is welcome in our school family. Each of us has unique gifts to share as part of a loving and caring Christian community. “Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.” (1 Corinthians 12:27)

Believing: We work hard to achieve our potential. With curiosity, we delve deeper as learners. We persevere when faced with challenges. Everything is possible for one who believes.” (Mark 9:23)

Succeeding Together: We work collaboratively and cooperatively to support each other, aspiring to be the best we can be. We are empowered to contribute positively to our community. We are inspired by the work of Jesus and his example. “Two are better than one, because they can help each other succeed. If one falls down, a friend can help them up.” (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10)

Vision

Our vision is for every individual within our school community to achieve their potential, valuing each person as created in the image of God and therefore of infinite worth. We believe that in belonging we are connected and have a shared belief, ownership and responsibility in the success of ourselves and others.

We aim to inspire children to learn with joy, curiosity and enthusiasm and to aspire for excellence in all they do.  We aspire to empower life-long learners who are equipped with the moral strength and spiritual depth they need to show love, compassion and advocate to make their world a better place.

We aim to:

• Provide high quality education in a happy Christian environment where everyone is valued and respected.
• Offer an ambitious curriculum which provides rich opportunities for children to develop a variety of knowledge, skills and interests.
• Foster a nurturing and stimulating environment which is inclusive, enabling all to flourish socially, academically and spiritually.
• Promote positive relationships with parents, carers, church, governors and the wider community.
• Develop confidence, motivation, independence, resilience and self-esteem.
• Foster an understanding and respect of other cultures, religious beliefs and groups.
• Respect our environment and natural world – God’s creation.

Our Christian Values

We encourage our children to ‘live fruitfully’ by showing the values of ‘Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness and Self-control’ (Galatians 5:22-23) as well as Perseverance, Forgiveness and Hope. 

Our Christian values are at the core of everything we do. They shape and underpin the Christian ethos of our school We aim to achieve our vision by living out these values, which are shared and owned by our whole school community.

Through embedding our vision and values, we endeavour to achieve everyone flourishing together.
