Our Values

At our school, guided by Christian and British values, we maintain that learning should be an exciting and enjoyable experience for everyone (adults and children); it should be fun and interactive, challenging and celebratory so a love for learning deepens.

 

Our Christian values support our spiritual, moral, social and cultural development as we grow and learn together in a happy, safe, aspirational environment. Through God’s example, we celebrate the uniqueness of each individual and endeavour to unlock their full potential. We inspire and enable our children to contribute to and thrive in a diverse society through promoting the following core values:

 

Kindness, Peace, Hope, Forgiveness and Respect

 

In so doing, our vision is that our whole community will actively demonstrate: “Let all that you do be done with love.”

 

Ofsted 2019:

“Leaders and governors are determined to make the school as good as it can be. You have created an ethos where pupils’ happiness and well-being are at the heart of the work of the school.”
