Our Vision sets out our ambitions for the lives that we lead here at Buxted teachers, parents and children. Our Values are the way we achieve this vision. They are the behaviours we need to try to demonstrate each day to help us be the best that we can be.
The South Ashdown Schools Federation vision is summarised in two simple words so it's really easy to remember: We want everyone in our school to aspire to be the best they can be. But we know we can't fulfil all of our potential on our own. We need help.
And that help comes from the inspiration of God's love for us, the wonderful world He has created for us and the support of our wider Christian community. Jesus told his disciples "I have come that they may have life to the full." (John 10:10) Inspired by God, we aspire to be the best we can be, so that we can live life in all its fullness.
