Our Vision and Values
Our School Vision
We are a small and inclusive Infant and Nursery school that nurtures children to flourish in all areas of their lives. We are inspired by Jesus’ words ‘live life in all its fullness’ (John 10:10). Using the awe and wonder of nature we provide experiences which support physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing. We are proud to be part of the local area supporting our children to be confident and respectful members of the community and wider world.
We do this by encouraging our children to:
· Seek within
· Wonder Why
· Reach Out
· Aim High
Our school values
- Kindness
- Respect
- Perseverance
- Community
- Truthfulness
- Courage
How we learn is as important as what we learn and we want our learning to be engaging, enjoyable and meaningful. Everyone, children and adults, in the school community is a learner.
As a fully inclusive Church of England Infant School our values are interconnected to the Church and Jesus' teaching of Christian values and reflect the aims and aspirations we have for all children.
The following six Christian values are the values which we feel permeate through the school every day and for the children we explain them through the Jesus' teaching and explore one in depth each half term:
