'Do to others as you would have them do to you' Matthew 7:12 At Plumbland CE School we feel it is important that everyone feels welcome and supported by each other. We aim to create a nurturing inclusive environment which enables our children to become confident, skilled, resilient young people who have a love of learning.
The broad education we provide will equip every child with the knowledge, skills and wisdom to achieve their full academic and social potential. Together with our community, we have clear aspirations for our children which inspire and enable them to make positive contributions as global citizens.
Recognising its historic foundation, the school will preserve and develop its religious character in accordance with the principles of the Church of England and in partnership with our church and at diocesan level. 'Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever.'
'Listen to advice and accept instruction, that you may gain wisdom in the future.' 'When I am afraid I put my trust in you.' 'Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.'
