I have come that they may have life, life in all its fullness John 10:10 The atmosphere and ethos of our school reflects that we are a family, who care and believe in each other, the church and a love for learning.
Holy Cross Church of England Primary School is a church school, we are a village school in service to a community here for each and every family, and as such it is important to us to display and maintain our Christian distinctiveness. However, it is not a faith school, and children of all faiths and no faith can attend the school.
Our ethos incorporates many of the Christian values and these run through all that we do in school.
