The school’s founding aim was to provide the highest possible quality of education, supported by a caring Christian ethos.

The school’s vision, which is linked to the Church of England vision for education of being ‘Deeply Christian, serving the common good ’ reflects robust expectations for both Christian distinctiveness and academic achievement. The school values are lived in all aspects of school life providing a strong reference point for all relationships and is shared by the whole community. Being ‘rooted in love’ encourages both adults and children alike to use restorative approaches when overcoming difficulties and challenges: resulting in a cohesive community where everyone feels safe, valued and heard.

All staff who are employed to work at Trinity Oaks are in sympathy of the Christian values and ethos, modelling the Christian values and are respectful of those values and teachings. As a school we ensure that our diverse community is supported and valued whilst ensuring that our Christian distinctiveness is threaded through and based on Christian values.

Our Christian distinctiveness is further embedded in the organisation of classes – class names are linked to Bible stories and trees from the Bible. EYFS classes and Key Stage 1 – fruit trees, moving to year 3 – willow (branching out) and onto Key Stage 2 – hardier trees.

Nursery – Acorns

Reception – Apple (Psalm 17v8)

Year 1 – Fig (Micah 4v4)

Year 2 - Olive (Psalm 52v8)

Year 3 – Willow (Isaiah 44v4)

Year 4 – Cedar (Psalm 104v16)

Year 5 – Palm (John 12v13)

Year 6 – Oak (Isaiah 61v3)

Our Christian distinctiveness is threaded through all that we do – our identity is individual to us.

We live out this distinctiveness through:

School values

Strong links with our Churches and clergy

Relationship and belonging policy (replacing behaviour policy)

Whole school worships

Class worships

Prayer

Faith groups for children and adult

RE curriculum

An interlinked curriculum with diversity and social justice weaved within
