The Christian faith and its teachings is the basis for every aspect of life at our school. This school is distinguished by the support of its entire staff, for its Christian foundation, promoting a sympathetic understanding of Christianity and other faiths. We nurture the spiritual development of all members of the school community and promote mutual respect and responsibility. We provide effective teaching of the National Curriculum, encouraging the highest achievement for each child. We value the contribution each child makes to the life of the school and take account of individual’s needs.
