Our Ethos

Our Christian ethos is expressed through our foundational values of ‘Love. Wisdom. Truth.’

We believe our unique purpose is to help grow confident, joyful and happy children, ready to thrive.

We strive for every child to be known and loved as an individual, placing relationships and communication at the heart of all we do. Our smaller class sizes support personalised learning and provide abundant opportunities for active participation. In this nurturing environment, pupils grow in confidence and courage; as they learn to value themselves, they also learn to value others through an atmosphere of love and support.

As pupils explore, discover, examine and debate, they deepen their understanding of both the workings and the wonders of the world. Their journey towards wisdom leads them further, towards empathy, respect for differences, and a desire to live with integrity. In the microcosm of the classroom, where fairness and dignity shape daily interactions, pupils learn to trust, to be open, and to be themselves. In this atmosphere of safety and respect, they are free to pursue truth: about the world, about others, and about themselves. This freedom encourages risk taking in learning and opens the way to deeper discoveries of Love, Wisdom and Truth.

Our school curriculum is underpinned by the values we hold dear: nurturing every child’s potential in academic study, creative expression and sporting achievement, while also developing their character. Through this curriculum, we aim to equip children with the knowledge, skills and understanding they need to live fulfilling and purposeful lives.

• We encourage children to honour God, respect those in authority, and to consider others before themselves.
  We celebrate each child’s uniqueness, giving them a voice and listening carefully, while promoting respect for diverse cultures.
• We value the spiritual and moral development of every individual, alongside their intellectual, creative and physical growth.
• We cherish the role each person plays in our school community, and we structure our curriculum to promote inclusion, cooperation and mutual understanding.
• We help children appreciate cultural heritage and the rich contributions made by diverse ethnic groups in our society.
• We treat every child with fairness and honesty, recognising and respecting who they are.
• We strive to meet the needs of all children, providing support and challenge to unlock their full potential.
• We value the natural world, and through our curriculum, we teach pupils to care for the environment, for their own future and for generations to come.
