As a Church school, our Christian values of love, kindness, courage and joy are at the heart of what we do and are inspired by the Apostle Paul in 4 Philippians 13: ‘I can do all things through Christ because he gives me strength’ who reminds us that we can find strength and contentment in all we do and in all circumstances.
All of these can be seen in our collective worship within whole school Monday and Friday celebrations.
We gather for collective worship on a Tuesday to celebrate through song whilst Wednesday’s collective worship is led by either Rev Justin Montague or the ‘Open the Book’ storytellers. On a Thursday, we have the opportunity to reflect together as a class or key stage.
We believe it is important to remove barriers to worship and everyone is welcome and welcomed in our services.
Our whole school prayer is:
God, our thanks for all you’ve given.
Feed our hearts with bread from heaven.
Guide and lead us all the way
In all that we may do and say.
Amen.
Our aims draw on the four elements of the Church of England Vision for Education:
Our Aims
This is the philosophy of how we want to work and learn – with due regard to the value each of us brings – which underpins all we do including all of the learning that takes place within our school.
Our values, vision and motto have been developed in conjunction with children and stakeholders.
