Rooted and established in God's Love (Eph 3:17); bearing fruit in all seasons Rooted and established in God's Love (Eph 3:17); bearing fruit in all seasons (Jer 17:8).
Rooted and established in God's Love (Eph 3:17); bearing fruit in all seasons (Jer 17:8) Our mission is to give every child in our school the best possible start in life through the provision of high-quality education and Christian spiritual wellbeing, in a caring nurturing and inclusive environment.
Our vision is to equip all our children with the skills and knowledge to grow and become confident and aspirational, through a knowledge-rich broad curriculum; and help them become active participants in their local and wider communities. Our Christian values of excellence, service, compassion and advocacy promote our Christian distinctiveness.
E Excellence we do not stop at good enough C Compassion we show sympathy, kindness and forgiveness A Advocacy We courageously stand up for what is right Our values permeate through our every day mission and are celebrated during our collective worship. There are two special gifts we should give our children; one is roots and the other is wings. Widely attributed to Goethe
