Love, Grow and Flourish Together

We are proud that our school is a church school and seek for our community to be founded upon the moral principles which Christianity shares. However, we also recognise individual choice and freedom for those of different faiths and those of none. 'A Christian school is one in which the entire atmosphere is pervaded by the conviction that there is something mysterious, and potentially wonderful, in everybody.' Archbishop of Canterbury

Our vision is based on Paul’s writings to the Ephesians:

Ephesians 3:17-19

That Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, as you are being rooted and grounded in love. I pray that you may have the power to comprehend, with all the saints, what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

Our vision has three aspects:

1. We seek to enable children to be rooted and grounded in love; we will feel loved and show love to others in our school and wider communities. We seek to feel a connection with the school, the staff, and the community through a shared sense of belonging. 

2. We strive to instil in pupils the power to comprehend; We will seek to grow in our understanding of all that is around us, encouraging all to live well together. By growing in confidence and self-awareness, pupils will be well-grounded and equipped with the intellectual freedom to think independently, explore big ideas, and challenge different perspectives.

3. Filled with the fullness of God;  We will be filled with His love, joy and goodness to live a fulfilled life. We encourage interests, hobbies and enrichment opportunities that will help all to thrive in life.

The vision of the school forms the foundation and the rationale behind all that we do and will be considered in the formation of school policies and procedures and monitored for its impact.

 Our vision is inspired by the Church of England's Vision for Education, which can be found below.
