Reverend Derek kindly opened our Prayer Garden on Monday afternoon. Our Worship Warriors and Children in Year 6 were also in attendance. Children in Key Stage 2 are now able to sit in the Prayer Garden during playtimes and lunchtimes. We hope they will find it to be a calm and relaxing area. Introducing our new Worship Warriors!
September 2023 During the summer term, staff and parents were asked to vote for the bible quote that they thought best reflected the school. Many thanks to everyone who returned their voting slip. The two quotes that were decided on are: Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him.
Colossians 2:7 We also decided what the most important Christian core values are for our children, staff, parents and the wider community. We desire to be a faith community where we all have the courage to grow together, personally, professionally, academically, and spiritually.
A respectful and compassionate community that allows 'roots to grow' where children will be given a solid academic grounding, which ensures they all reach their full potential in all areas of school life and the wider community and can flourish and grow.
