Vision and Values

Vision, Aims and Christian Values

Our vision, aims and values are at the heart of everything we do. They underpin our teaching and learning, and provide an environment which helps everyone flourish as confident, happy citizens.

Vision

‘We belong, we believe, we flourish’

We better understand this by thinking of the bible verse from:

Luke 2:40

'And the Child grew and became strong. He was filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon Him.'

We are all striving to grow because through growth we better belong and believe in ourselves, consequently we flourish. It is because of this that growth is rewarded in our school because we are constantly supporting each other to belong, to believe and to flourish.
