"Rooted in the community. Branching into the future. Walking together in the light of the Lord."
As a Church school we have a distinctive character where Christian values are promoted in all aspects of school life. We encourage all members of the school community to promote a Christian ethos where care and respect is shown to everyone. Our Christian Values of: Compassion, Stickability, Forgiveness, Friendship, Community and Joy underpin the whole life of our community. These values inform the school's vision, aims and ethos, the design of curriculum, all policies, the planning for spiritual and moral development as well as the school's management and governance. As a Church school, we have strong links with the Parish Church of St James'. Members of the church community are active on our governing body; work closely with our Ethos and Worship group to monitor and develop collective worship in school, and regularly support the children’s learning experiences in many ways.
Head Teacher Miss Taylor welcomes visitors and expresses pride in the school community, highlighting a safe, vibrant place to learn and a rich, creative curriculum within a Christian ethos.
