About

The overarching vision for Tacolneston and Morley Primary Federation reflects the importance of diversity and individuality as we all have gifts and talents which are different but complement one another.

"As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace" 1 Peter 4:10 At Tacolneston, we want children to be confident to speak out and share their ideas, their learning and their talents, using their individual skills and gifts.

This focus at Tacolneston is in recognition of our aspirations for the children, giving them every opportunity we can to learn about the world around them and share their knowledge and ideas within and beyond their local village or home community. "Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven."

Matthew 5:16 "Those who are wise will shine as bright as the sky." Daniel 12:3 Our vision for Tacolneston is summarised as " Shine as bright as the sky ", partly symbolised by the TV broadcasting mast for which Tacolneston is known. The core values at Tacolneston are Courage , Perseverance and Respect.
