Vision and Values
Our School Vision
Making Good Decisions Together
‘So you will walk in the way of the good and keep to the paths of the righteous…’ - Proverbs 2:20
Our vision and values shape everything we do. As a small Church of England school with a strong family ethos, they guide our teaching, learning, and daily decisions, helping children grow into confident, cooperative and caring members of their community.
Our vision – Making Good Decisions Together – is rooted in the teachings of Jesus and encourages children to be thoughtful, respectful and safe. Life is full of choices, and we aim to give our pupils the skills, knowledge and wisdom to choose well; in learning, friendships, behaviour and values, so they can thrive in a changing world.
We bring this vision to life through our curriculum, collective worship and everyday interactions. High expectations, positive role models and opportunities for reflection help children understand that mistakes are part of learning and that good decisions build strong relationships and a better future.
Our School Values
We are a small, caring Christian community where every child is valued, challenged and supported to grow as a confident, healthy learner who makes good decisions and contributes positively to the world.
To achieve our vision of Making Good Decisions Together, we live by these values:
1. A Happy, Focused Learning Environment
We create a calm, safe and inclusive space where success is celebrated and every contribution matters.
2. Meaningful, Challenging, Inclusive Learning
Inspiring confident, independent learners who embrace challenge and see mistakes as growth.
3. Working Together as a Community
Respectful relationships with families, church and the wider community, encouraging responsibility and global citizenship
4. Healthy, Active, and Safe Lifestyles
Promoting lifelong habits of health, safety and activity through a flexible, relevant curriculum
5. A Family Ethos Grounded in Christian Values
Living out tolerance, reconciliation, patience and respect to foster peace and belonging
All of these values can be traced theologically to the teachings of the Bible (see Theological Roots page on this website).
