As a Church of England school, we pride ourselves in promoting a strong Christian ethos within a caring and supporting environment. We believe it is important to develop Christian core values that will impact the way we live our lives, both at school and in the wider community as God intended.
'I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me' Philippians 4 v 13 Our visions and values are at the core of everything we do. They underpin our teaching and learning, and provide an environment which prepares our pupils as confident and happy members of the community. We nurture and maintain strong links with the Church and the local community.
We give children the opportunity to experience what being a Christian is, in a warm, friendly family where everyone feels safe. At Bridgemere CE Primary, our faith is at the heart of everything we do. Each day, we gather as a school family for collective worship that is inclusive, invitational, and inspiring.
These moments of reflection and togetherness help us grow in faith, friendship, and understanding.
