Vision and values

Our Vision

Flourishing Through Fellowship to Aspire Believe and Achieve

We aim to develop lifelong learners that have a clear understanding of the world in which we live through the acquisition of skills and knowledge. Developing their unique God-given talents which will enable them to contribute, collaborate and flourish in a global society.

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 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

Trust in ourselves, trust in each other and trust in God enables us to work in a variety of ways to achieve the very highest outcomes.

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.

Wisdom is the acquisition of skills and knowledge through learning in the curriculum as well as knowing ourselves and knowing God.

Fellowship Is key to all that we do in and out of school recognising that together we can achieve more. Valuing the strengths and gifts of others can compliment our own skills so that working together we can all flourish.

Thankfulness for the challenges and the blessings that we are given enables us to be resilient safe in the knowledge that challenges and difficulties are part of life as are blessings and success.

Our British Values

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.
