Let Your Light Shine

We go into the world to walk in God's light, to rejoice in God's love and to reflect God's glory.

Our vision is to be: An aspirational school where children are equipped with the knowledge, skills and values to thrive academically and socially, and develop the self-belief to embrace their future lives with confidence as God intended them to

Our school community aims to provide:

• A Christian ethos that encourages spiritual development through all aspects of the curriculum and a sense of awe and wonder
• A secure environment with care, nurture and compassion at its heart where each child knows that they are valued
• An environment that fosters a desire in the children to show that same love for others in school, at home and in the wider community
• An environment where the children are encouraged to develop tolerance and consideration for others, including knowing how to respectfully disagree
• A broad and inspirational curriculum that provides challenge, leads to developing a love of learning and encourages the children to work hard in order to achieve their targets and secure the best outcomes
• Learning experiences that equip them for the next stage in their development and encourage innovation so preparing them for their future world
• A growing understanding of life-long learning skills such as the importance of enquiry, independence, self-motivation, exploration and a desire to achieve
• A supportive environment where the children feel sufficiently secure to develop resilience in the face of challenge and failure (e.g. when they haven’t achieved something ‘yet’)
• An ethos that encourages interdependence and one that helps children understand the importance of listening, showing empathy, taking turns and building on others’ ideas
• A welcome to all members of each family and a school which firmly holds to the belief in the partnership between home and school in the development of every child
• A wealth of opportunities to forge strong links with others in the wider community including with the church and other schools
• For the development of an age-appropriate understanding of what supports positive emotional and mental health and the development of skills and enjoyment of physical activities that will lay a foundation for an active and healthy life-style
