As a Church of England School, our Christian values are at the heart of everything we do. Across our curriculum, in the day-to-day life of the school, and through our ' I ASPIRE' values, we aim to develop: Our values are based on Christian virtues and each value is covered in detail through daily Collective Worship and in the classroom.
Assembly time or Collective Worship is regarded as a time for Christian reflection, singing praises, prayer and worship. A supportive, caring, family ethos permeates school life. Everyone is expected to live and work to our values.
These include obvious values such as respect, love, peace, honesty, co-operation, as well as others that may not be quite so recognisable such as responsibility, freedom, commitment, humility, integrity, courtesy, faithfulness and wisdom. All achievements are valued and we actively encourage children to celebrate with their peers and learn from them too.
