Ethos & Values

"Ready, Respectful, Safe."

To be ready. To be respectful. To be safe.

Minsterley School is not a church school but has excellent links with Minsterley Parish Church. Members of the church attend assemblies every fortnight and act out Bible stories through the Open the Book project. Members of the Parish Church are regular volunteers in school helping children to learn to read, playing the piano for concerts and assisting with development and exploration of the churchyard.
