Our vision interpreted by our staff…
"The children shining as lights with their skills and gifts."
"God and the Holy Spirit shining through the works of the staff and children."
"God's light shining as an example and leading the way."
"In our class we use "dazzle me" as our motivator."
"Be courageous enough to try new things and develop new skills."
"Let your light shine is to live in a way that others see Jesus in us. It means doing good deeds, spreading kindness, compassion and using our gifts to serve others."

Although we are a Church of England School, we warmly invite families from all faiths and those with none to join our school community. Our school values of compassion, hope and community are things that we can all identify with regardless of our faith or backgrounds. Our Christian values help us live out our vision which underpins all that we do.
