About

The staff and governors at school have spent some time looking at our school vision and have made some changes. The school vision will now be in three distinct parts showing our intent for the vision, how we will implement it and the impact that we hope it will have. As a Church of England Primary school it is important that our vision is rooted in Christian rationale.

We are also keen to have a vision that the children can recall easily and so we have taken elements of the school prayer which is already well known to the children and seems to sum up all that we wish to achieve. IMPLEMENTATION of Vision- what will we do to achieve our intent? For this we will use the existing vision statements.

We worked on these with a group of stakeholders and still feel that these state clearly, all that wish to achieve- We are proud to be a forward thinking village school. We are a community who works well together with a strong, trusting, family feel. Our Christian ethos underpins all that we do.

In the school’s own words, from the school website.
