Colkirk and Sculthorpe Church of England Primary Academies and Little Snoring Community Primary Academy at Unity Federation we have thought carefully and worked with our pupils, staff and governors to create a shared vision that reflects each individual school but also all three working together in our federation.
We came together in January 2018 to explore and write our vision. With the help of our local incumbents we chose the following bible passage to root our vision in biblical teachings: The Parables of the Hidden Treasure and the Pearl 44 "The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field.
When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field. 45 "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls.46 When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it.
