Our Ethos and Values
‘In our happy, caring and safe school, our teachers will inspire learning, support us to achieve success and create lifelong values, characteristics and ambitions’
Our aims
Within a Christian ethos we aim to:
- Promote a positive attitude to life-long learning, nurturing the development of selfesteem; leading to aspirational, independent learners that are prepared to be challenged and take risks in a diverse and ever changing world
- Provide the children with valuable experiences and opportunities, through a broad, balanced and exciting curriculum, where learning is purposeful and fun
- Use a variety of teaching strategies and resources effectively and creatively, encouraging each child to progress and attain to the highest possible standards, in relation to their age and ability
- Strongly encourage parental involvement in the education of our children
- Demonstrate and foster respect for ourselves and others within the school and the global community
- Encourage spiritual and moral values • Value each child as an individual within the school
Collective Worship
As a Church of England Aided School, Collective Worship is an important part of our school day. The school gathers each day to take part in collective worship based on a topic for each term. Parents will be invited to worship led by their children.
The Vicar or the curate visits the school each week, usually on a Tuesday, to talk to the children and lead our collective worship.
We visit the Parish Church regularly to celebrate the festivals and children visit the church to learn more about the building.
