Our Vision
God is at the heart of all we do. The focus is on providing opportunities for growth in body, mind and spirit, so that all who learn and work here may experience the joy and hope of ‘life in all its fullness’ (John 10 v10).
This means that we provide opportunities for each pupils to ‘be the best they can be’, to find for themselves the person God wants them to be and to flourish in a learning environment where the pursuit of excellence based on the highest expectations and aspirations from and for all, is the norm.
Body Where the safety and well-being of pupils are paramount. Where every child matters and, crucially, knows that they matter.
Mind High expectations and aspirations in all areas of school life create a disciplined and ordered learning environment. Creativity, passion and enthusiasm help to engender a real zest for learning and secure excellent pupil outcomes.
Spirit Supporting spiritual growth for pupils and staff, wherever they are on their faith journey, is central to our community life. Prayer, worship, wow moments to acknowledge God’s greatness, reflecting on Christian values, character development across the curriculum and expressing ideas creatively all develop the spirit and contribute to ‘life in all its fullness’.
All our policies, decision making, curriculum decisions and extra-curricular activities are rooted in this vision and leaders at all levels are routinely encouraged to think about how their actions might link back to and reflect this vision.
Ofsted report
"Pupils’ achievement is outstanding. They enter the school with standards that are above average and, by the end of their five years in the school, reach standards that are consistently and exceptionally high and make outstanding progress. The gap between girls’ and boys’ achievement is much narrower than that found nationally and there is no significant difference in the achievement of those who have learning difficulties and/or disabilities or of the very few pupils who speak English as an additional language."
