Our Ethos
06 May 2019
It is important that our children BELIEVE in themselves and the possibilities available to them, to LEARN by embracing challenge, questioning the world around them, reflecting and not being afraid to take risks so that they FLOURISH as unique individuals and the role models of the future.
Our vision is embedded within our chosen Bible verse which comes from I Corinthians 13v13.
We have chosen 1 Corinthians 13v3 as Faith, Hope and Love are essential to Christian belief. For Christians, faith is a complete trust and confidence in God. Christians have hope and have a confident expectation for God’s purposes to be fulfilled. Through Corinthians, Paul teaches that love is the most important gift we have been given, as God's love for the world is unconditional, generous,
unending and unfailing.
Although we are a church school, the values we take from 1 Corinthians 13 are also applicable to those who are from a different faith or belong to no faith group at all. Faith allows us to have complete trust and confidence in our schools; the people within them and the things we do. We want our children to have hope for their future, to nurture the feelings and desire for something positive to happen. We want our children to understand that we are all unique individuals which make up a school family and community which through love, allows us to care for one another, celebrate diversity, be patient and kind and treats others how we would like to be treated.
We want all the children in our school to experience our core values of FAITH, HOPE and LOVE so that they can Believe, Learn and Flourish.
Recognising its historic foundation, the school aims to serve its community by providing education of the highest quality within the context of Christian belief and practice. It encourages an understanding of the meaning and significance of faith and promotes Christian values through the experience it offers all pupils.
