Our aim is to provide a rich and engaging educational experience in a caring Christian environment in which each individual is valued and respected so that all are enabled to reach their full potential. Newburgh C.E. Primary School is a welcoming and inclusive school where everything we do is underpinned by our Christian Values.
Children are well cared for in a loving and nurturing environment and all are encouraged to achieve of their best both academically and spiritually. By nurturing individuals who reflect Christian character and values we believe that our children will flourish as life-long learners and be ready to shine in tomorrows world.
At Newburgh C.E. Primary School our Christian Values underpin everything that we do. As a whole school community we carefully selected six Christian Values that we felt were important. Together, as a family (pupils, staff and governors) we use these values as the basis for our decisions and our behaviour in our school, and live them out in our daily lives.
We promote these values to families of our pupils and encourage the children to remember them as they move through life.
