As a Church of England School we believe that every person, every child and every adult is unique and special with God given gifts and talents which it is our job to nurture and cherish.

The children, staff and community have thought through our school vision carefully and together we strive to achieve this everyday through our actions, behaviours and habits.  Our Christian values and school vision; SHINE, LEARN, BELIEVE and BELONG sit at the heart of our school community and underpin every aspect of school life.  

We aim to develop happy, confident, loving and caring children who look after and value themselves, each other and their world. We ensure every child feels valued and flourishes with their unique personalities and talents in all that they choose to do.

Our pupils are challenged to think for themselves about the big questions that face the world today within an environment which is accepting of other faiths and cultures.

Our school vision is based on the following scripture:

'So I say to you:  Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.  For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.'   Luke 11:9-10

Collective Worship

An act of Collective Worship takes place every day and is an important part of school life, making space for pupils and staff to come together and share in worship through learning, music, reflection and prayer. Our worship is inclusive and gives all of the school community the chance to be part of the experience, while respecting the integrity of family and cultural backgrounds.

We welcome visitors in weekly to deliver Collective Worship and enjoy joining our family community for celebration events and services at St Peter St Paul.

Our Collective Worship themes this academic year are:

Autumn Term 2023:  during the Autumn term we will be exploring and reflecting upon what the biblical scripture that we have chosen to represent our school's vision and values means.

'So I say to you:  ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.

For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.'
