It is with great pleasure that I welcome you, on behalf of the children, staff and governors, to our Federation.
At Churchdown Parton Manor Schools' Federation we aim to give each and every child the very best start in life to enable them to go on to be confident, successful and responsible adults; allowing them to become resilient and empathetic learners and ultimately to have a Positive Mind-set.
Our dedicated and committed staff team work very hard to provide a safe and secure environment in which every child can not only thrive but flourish – academically, emotionally, socially, physically and creatively. We have high expectations in all 3 schools in terms of behaviour and concern for others.
We encourage children to live by our shared British values, respecting and celebrating the diversity of our national community, common moral values, the rule of law and democracy together with a tolerance of others' beliefs and cultures.
