Vision, Values and Ethos
Since opening in 2014 the school has developed its distinctively Anglican identity. Our vision and values are embedded and threaded through the fabric of every day school life.
School vision
Where acorns flourish into mighty oaks. (Isaiah 61:3 – They will be oaks of righteousness)
Mission Statement
Rooted in God’s love and Christian values, we are a school who treasure each individual, enabling them to flourish and achieve.
School Values
The school values underpin the whole school approach so children understand that being respectful, thankful, kind and compassionate apply throughout the day in the way in which we treat others within the school, while being aspirational and resilient applies to all our learning and not just in RE or worship. Teachers regularly discuss the school values in class, to enable the children to gain a deeper understanding and to reflect on and apply the values in their daily lives and learning.
Values Statement
We are thankful for the uniqueness of everyone in our community, created in God’s image, fostering relationships with integrity rooted in God’s love. We value and respect all people in our community. Our pupils, staff and families work together with kindness and compassion. to support each other. We are resilient learners who recognise that perseverance and risk-taking is the key to our aspirational goals and successes.

Our values are linked into the Anglican foundation and formed through consultation with the community and church. The value words are used to exemplify the life of Jesus Christ and to explore a wide range of biblical references. School values are clearly rooted in the Bible and guided by the life and teachings of Jesus Christ.
