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 Morley, we want children to "work together, learn together and grow together", using their individual skills and gifts. "I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing."
John 15:5 "No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine." John 15:4 Our core values at Morley are Respect, Compassion and Perseverance.
