Vision

The Lord is faithful to his promises and everything he does is good.
Psalm 145 v13

We are a strong community that aspires for all our members to learn, achieve and flourish together, underpinned by God’s promise which is represented by our rainbow values. Our school values are embraced by all members of our community regardless of background and creates a foundation for a fulfilled life. The Bible verse is a daily reminder that God has put his trust in us and that we aspire to demonstrate this in our lives.

Our values are embedded into all our policies. We have rewritten our curriculum policies using our strapline as a structure to write our intents. Below is an example of our curriculum policy which is a foundation for all the other subject specific policies.

Learning:

• To enable all our children to possess transferable skills to make positive progress in all curriculum areas.

Achieving:

• To instil high aspirations in all our children, building a positive mind set and a sense of belonging by tailoring to our children’s needs.

Flourishing:

• To enable our children to flourish in all areas of our enriched curriculum creating positive school memories.

Together in God’s Promises, Goodness and Love

• Children to feel confident at expressing their beliefs and to have an awareness and sensitivity of diversity that will enable them to succeed in our modern world.

Each of our Rainbow Values has a biblical quote attached to it and a different value is explored each half term:
