Awe and Wonder
Children are naturally inquisitive, and it is our duty to nurture this natural curiosity and help them to look at the world around them with awe and wonder. We want to encourage them to ask ‘big questions’ about life, religion, nature, science and any other area of interest.

Caring for Nature and Living Things
We provide opportunities for children to learn about nature and the role they play in protecting our world. As a Church School, this is especially important. We have chickens which live on site and the children take care of them at break and lunch times and through ‘Omlet club’. The school grounds are rich in bird and insect life and the children take pride in providing homes (bug house, bird boxes) and food for God’s creatures. Through science and topic work, children learn about the world and how they can care for living things.

Love
We are a very caring school and pride ourselves on our ethos of community. Through our core values, we teach children to show respect for friends, family and the community. We offer curriculum workshops to share our work with those we love and our curriculum teaches us to love and understand those around us. The children have an understanding that the school community goes beyond the buildings and the grounds of the school, but encompasses and permeates into the local community around the school. The overall atmosphere of our school - one of respect, inclusion, and a sense of purpose - reflects our Christian identity.
