CofE Primary Academy

The school’s ethos and values of ‘deep Christian roots, nurturing strong growth, flourishing children’ are at the heart of everything that happens. Pupils develop a strong understanding of community by attending worship at the local church. Those who are part of the ethos committee take pride in organising assemblies.

Pupils and adults are treated with love, care, compassion and respect. Wellbeing is prioritised and those who are considered vulnerable are thoughtfully nurtured, so they are enabled to flourish.

Every pupil in Year 6 holds a purposeful position of responsibility. They are, for example, librarians, eco committee members and mentors for younger pupils. These experiences ensure that pupils are very well prepared for life in modern Britain.

Leaders at all levels are passionate about creating an environment in which everyone is valued. This fosters a happy, safe and inclusive ethos in which pupils and adults take pride in their school.

Pupils live out the school’s values in their learning, behaviour and actions. The older pupils are role models for the younger students. They make a positive difference to the culture of the school through their leadership responsibilities.
