Our Christian Vision and Ethos:
Our Christian vision is for every member of our school family to ‘shine’ through a positive, nurturing environment underpinned by an enriched, inspiring curriculum that celebrates learning, fun and the wider achievements of all of our children and community, in order that everyone can ‘Live Life in all its fullness’ (John 10:10)
We encourage our children to 'shine' as a light to others in our community, being the best version of themselves and guiding others: "Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven." (Matthew 5:15)
We promote excellence in everything we do and in the way we live, inspiring our children for life today, tomorrow and in the future, and guiding them in the true value of learning to "let your light shine!" (Matthew 5:16)
We summarise this in the simple statement: “Together we Care, Learn and Shine.”
Our Curriculum Aims:
Our aim is to deliver an enquiry based curriculum, underpinned by our Christian Values of Respect, Friendship, Truth, Trust, Responsibility and Forgiveness, that shows progression and high expectations while retaining flexibility and creativity through active learning in real-life contexts.
We also incorporate problem solving and have developed an environment that encourages independent learning and the application of basic skills. Our curriculum gives space for learning beyond subject boundaries and allows pupils to feel success both in the classroom and the outside world.
Safeguarding is a high priority in our school and we listen to all of our children. Safeguarding Policy procedures will be followed at all times for the protection of your children. The designated Safeguarding Lead is Mrs Aimee Christian, Headteacher and the deputy lead is Mrs Nicola Naylor who can both be contacted at the school if you have any concerns regarding a child.
