Inspired by William Waynflete and John Wesley, we have a vision to be an aspirational school delivering excellence in learning by being creative, inclusive and resilient so that we can all serve in God's world to the best of our ability. She gave this name to the LORD who spoke to her: You are the God who sees me, for she said, I have now seen the One who sees me.
Our whole school values are extremely important to us and are based upon our Christian values and church school vision. Peace: Peace means never having wars and to have calmness, peace of mind and happiness. Forgiveness: Forgiveness means when you do not have bad feelings against someone who has done something nasty to you.
Friendship: Friendship is like a brilliant star which shines brighter when the sky turns darker! Hope: Hope means that anything is possible, keeping our dreams alive and striving for a better tomorrow. Humility: Humility means listening to others, not boasting about yourself and making sacrifices for other people.
Trust: Trust means that you know in your heart, what the person is telling you, is the truth
