The Church of England has a long and successful history of involvement in education and schooling and Church of England schools have a distinctive identity and ethos, popular with parents and families. It where the development of social, spiritual and emotional intelligence is as important as academic achievement.
We are inclusive and serve equally those who are of the Christian faith, those of other faiths and those with no faith. We can be found engaging with and among children in a variety of contexts because we want to: We regularly attend our local church.
It is especially good when we have so many families together in Church celebrating with the children at Christmas or Harvest, when we hold special services for them. Along with the Team Rector & Team Vicar, the Church has representatives on the governing bodies of our Church Schools and we are always so pleased to see happy children achieving and progressing in their lives.
