"Following Jesus, Together We Succeed"
As a Church school, Gospel values underpin all we do in Bishop David Sheppard Primary. We strive to instil in our children a realisation of their own sense of spirituality and an understanding of the need for a moral dimension to life, whilst minimising the impact of the materialistic world in which we live, upon their lives. Inclusion is a priority and Christian values are promoted within a celebration of our diverse society.
Headteacher Mrs S Bayliff welcomes visitors and describes Bishop David Sheppard CE Primary School as an inspiring, stimulating and happy centre of learning with a safe, caring Christian atmosphere; the school aims to help children develop English, Maths and broader curriculum skills and to fulfil their potential under the motto "Following Jesus, Together We Succeed."
