Our aim is to bring the best out of every pupil that attends Little Thetford CofE Primary School. Jesus said, You are the light of the world. Let your light shine before others. (Matthew Chapter 5:16) We believe that every member of our school community can reflect, be creative and flourish, shining as a light in the world.
Throughout the whole school year, our vision is underpinned by five Christian values that are woven into the very fabric of the school and which we expect every member of the school community to model, shining out as beacons of faith.
Whoever enters our school, wherever their journeys may take them and whatever they become, our mission is for Little Thetford pupils, staff, governors, clergy and community to carry their light out into the world for all to see. Green Hill Little Thetford Ely Cambs CB6 3HD
