Our Christian Vision

“Let your light shine, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” (Matthew 5:16).

We are inspired through the love of God, each other and our world, to challenge ourselves to fulfil our God-given potential through our core Christian values of compassion, creativity and perseverance.

We are an inclusive school and, as a Church of England school, these values guide everything we do.  Our Christian vision, ‘Let your light shine before others’, inspires our whole school community to achieve their full potential.
