Flourishing Through Faith and Fellowship to Aspire, Believe and Achieve
Our Vision
“The smallest seed can grow into the largest tree.”
As we prepare to move to our new site and embrace a growing community, we are inspired by the parable of the mustard seed. Though small, it grows into a tree so large that birds come and nest in its branches (Matthew 13:32). We see our school as that tree—rooted in faith, growing in hope, and offering shelter, protection, and inspiration to all who join us. This vision is grounded in the words of Jesus: “Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” (Matthew 17:20). We believe that with faith—faith in God, in ourselves, and in each other—every child can flourish. At the heart of our school is a deeply held Christian calling: To improve the life chances of local children, enabling them to live life in all its fullness. (John 10:10). Whether learning, leading, playing, or praying, we nurture the God-given potential in every child. Like the mustard seed, even the smallest act of faith can grow into something great.
Matthew 17.20
“Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this and us better mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you”.
Matthew 13:32
Though it is the smallest of all seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds come and perch in its branches”.
At Rosherville, we are dedicated to developing lifelong learners – children who grow in character, confidence, and capability, and who are prepared to contribute positively to both their local community and the wider world. Our vision is inspired by the image of the mustard seed – a symbol of growth, potential, and transformation. Just as the smallest seed can grow into a tree that offers shelter and support, we believe in nurturing every child so they can flourish and help others do the same. We foster an environment built on belief – in ourselves, in each other, and for many in our community, in God. This belief encourages resilience, compassion, and ambition. Rooted in our Christian foundation, we take strength from the words of Jesus in Matthew 17:20 and Matthew 13:32, which remind us that even the smallest amount of faith or belief can lead to remarkable things. As we move to a new site and grow into a new community, we see ourselves as that mustard seed—taking root, growing strong, and becoming a place of welcome, protection, and inspiration for all who join us. At the core of all we do is our commitment: To improve the life chances of local children.
We believe we could have faith in God, faith in self or faith in others
Our School Values
We promote strong Christian values, where children are appropriately supported and challenged to succeed. These values help to promote the principles of life that Jesus taught.
Compassion
Compassion calls us to live like Jesus always looking to support others and give the best of ourselves to them. Recognising that sometimes we will be giving to others and sometimes we will be taking helps us to understand the importance of walking in the shoes of others
Wisdom
Wisdom is the acquisition of skills and knowledge through learning in the curriculum as well as knowing ourselves and knowing God.
Courage
Courage enables us to move out of our comfort zone and push past what we expect of ourselves and others knowing that faith in ourselves and God will support us.
Our British Values
As part of Aletheia Academies Trust, Rosherville is committed to Fundamental British Values.
We aim to actively promote British values in our school to ensure that all children leave school prepared for life in modern Britain. Pupils are encouraged to regard people of all faiths, races and cultures with respect and tolerance and understand that while different people may hold different views about what is ‘right’ and ‘wrong’, all people living in England are subject to its law.
The Trust actively promotes British Values in all of our academies. We aim to establish a strong community where all pupils are encouraged to demonstrate respect and tolerance through an inclusive nature regardless of faith, race and culture.
