At St Andrew s, our distinctive Christian values underpin everything that we do. Let love and kindness be the motivation behind all that you do. (1 Corinthians 16:14) Please " Love is patient and kind ; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not easily angered. It keeps no record of wrongs, but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts , always hopes, always perseveres . Love never fails." ( 1 Corinthians 13 4-8) Please click on each value for more information. There are many links between our school's Christian values and our promotion of British values. You can find out more about our work on British values here.
