" The ones who plant and the ones who water work together as a team with the same purpose ." 1 Corinthians 3:8 We believe that with God's help when we all work as a TEAM Together Everyone Achieves More. Welcome to Donnington Wood CofE Voluntary Controlled Junior School for our wonderful school, a dedicated community where each person is valued as a child of God.
We are a Church of England school, inspired and guided by the life and teaching of Jesus. We work together as a team to create a caring, friendly and safe school family, to enable the whole school community to flourish and each person to reach their full God-given potential. The Christian vision is made real through the core values of hope, friendship and perseverance.
These have a profound and positive impact on how pupils and adults flourish in their personal growth. Care for more vulnerable pupils and their families is exemplary and inspired by Christian teachings. The school is a safe haven for those who face challenges in their lives and learning. The curriculum is creative and inspiring.
As a result, pupils grow in hope and aspire to a bright future.
