I can do all this through him who gives me strength. Philippians 4:13 Currently our Ethos group have been working alongside our Worship workers with the RE lead, local church and Headteacher to develop the rewards system that is going to be used throughout school.
They have been taking part in regular meetings, researching Biblical figures and relating these back the the Christian values of our school. They will be launching this to the rest of the school as well as working on some other projects this year. We look forward to sharing more with you as these projects launch.
