​
Achieving and Flourishing in our Christian Community
It is at the core of everything we do and we encourage our pupils to be the best version of themselves. We use the 'Parable of the Talents' to underpin our vision and to remind the children that we should make the most of our talents in order the achieve and flourish.
​
As a Church of England school, we work together to develop the character of our pupils so they can achieve and flourish. We explore 5 ‘Character Gateways’ throughout the year where pupils engender it in their actions and exemplify it in their learning journals.
​
Our character gateways are underpinned by biblical theology. These stories are pivotal in supporting our pupils understanding of our vision and are explored in depth during Acts of Worship and day-to-day learning. Alongside our biblical examples for the character traits, we also look to children's stories and known figures as inspiring examples.
Our 5 Character Gateways consist of:
​
Citizenship • Leadership • Explorers • Expression • Flourishing
