Our Vision and Aims
"Deeply rooted, flourishing together, reaching great heights”.
The School's vision is underpinned by Psalm 1: 3
"Like a tree firmly planted by streams of living water".
Our school's values
These values flow from our vision and will be the habits and practices we seek to embody in all adults and children at this school:
generosity
compassion
forgiveness
respect
perseverance
courage
As a church school, these are Christian values rooted in stories from the Bible. They are also for all, regardless of faith.
They are values for everyone - children of all faiths and none.
