Ethos of a Church School

We are a Church School

Our social, moral, spiritual and cultural values underpin our distinct Christian Ethos and promote Fundamental British Values.

Ethos Statement

Within our Christian ethos, we aim to nurture the development of the whole child, through a holistic approach to education in order that they are ready to embrace the next stage in their education and as a member of society. We foster a lifelong love of learning and support the innate desire within us all to be kind. We teach our pupils to understand a need for justice, equality and to respect individualism in order to live harmoniously in a multicultural, global society.

We promote an understanding of the benefits of living a healthy lifestyle and support the development of emotional wellbeing. We teach pupils to keep themselves and others safe and protected from harm. We encourage pupils’ future aspirations and support every pupil to be the best they can be.

Our Christian gospel states that each person is uniquely valuable in the sight of God. Our Christian ethos embodies kindness, tolerance, and mutual respect, to grow into the potential God gave us.

Ofsted 2018 reported....Pupils I spoke to take great pride in their school and appreciate the care that they receive from staff. Parents and carers are very positive about the school’s community spirit and supportive ethos. One parent’s comment was typical of many: ‘Our children are extremely happy and do well because of this safe and nurturing environment.’

School assemblies are a much-valued opportunity for teachers to celebrate pupils’ successes.
