We know the extraordinary worth of all our children. Our vision is to grow children believing in their own value, their academic successes and their place in the wider family of school and community. We are all created in the image of God. Living life in all its fullness everyday
John 10.10 ‘I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.’
We are proud to be a distinctively Christian school. Our vision is rooted in our purpose as a Church of England school to educate for the common good and also in our knowledge of the community we serve which gives us an understanding of where to prioritise our resources in order to maximise our positive impact on our community.
Our reflection spaces
Reflection spaces can be used for lots of different reasons. These may include:
- Space to take a breath and just be.
- Space to explore life questions.
- Space to explore spirituality and faith in a safe, creative and interactive way.
- Space to draw our own conclusions.
- Space for personal reflection.
- Space to explore prayer.
There are several areas in school that are specifically set aside for these purposes. These are:
- The area between admin and EYFS on the top corridor
- ‘The Place to be’ on the middle floor
- Our edible garden outside
- The reflection room within our nurture provision
- The reflection space within each of the shared areas in KS1 and KS2
- The reflection space within every classroom.
Teachers are responsible for setting up the reflection spaces in their areas, but it is expected that pupils who are part of the worship council will take some responsibility for the day to day running of reflection spaces in school.
