Our Vision and Ethos:

Our Vision is to give every child an unforgettable high-quality education through our strong Christian ethos. This is centred on three core values: Courage, Care and Compassion, which are firmly embedded in the daily life of our school. We pride ourselves on our welcoming, family atmosphere where children feel supported, safe and valued. All children are encouraged to be independent thinkers and to have a genuine voice within the school. We want them to ‘belong’. We encourage our children to be confident learners with good reading, writing and maths skills who enjoy participating in a broad thematic curriculum that makes the most of our rural setting.

Courage

So that we:

try new things
love learning new skills and concepts
overcome obstacles
have a go
are happy to make mistakes
persevere when the going gets tough
make new friends
stick up for what is right
lead by example

Compassion

For ourselves and others so that we:

are kind towards ourselves when we make mistakes
take care of ourselves by keeping healthy and safe
understand our emotions and how to express them
extend kindness, understanding and tolerance to others

Care

For our environment and the planet so that we:

foster a love of the outdoors
appreciate the countryside and learn how to look after it
understand how to take action to protect our planet
