We're excited to share with you our school’s distinctive Christian vision. 

As a Church School we are required to have a vision that is shared with the whole school community, and which is then supported by our values.

 

Our school vision is ‘Growing Happy, Caring Hearts and Minds’.        

The foundation of this can be found in the Bible, John 15 v 12;

‘My command is this: love each other as I have loved you’.

 

Our vision has been developed from the central belief of the Church of England, that education should develop a fullness of life. This is alongside the Exeter Diocese vision to pray, grow and serve with joy.

 

The school community were consulted and given the opportunity to identify key strengths and attributes of the school. Questionnaires were sent out to all parents, staff, governors and pupils. There was a positive response to this and overwhelmingly everyone prioritised the children’s happiness and wellbeing, alongside and integrated into learning and meeting full potential. This goes back to the central belief that the role of the school should be to educate the whole person, encompassing ‘physical and intellectual development, united with spiritual, moral, social and cultural’.

 

The Christian faith is centred around the love of God and at this school we have also developed new values that are based on the GRACE of God.

The values are: Generosity, Respect, Agape, Courage and Empathy.

 

These form and shape the ethos of our school culture and are a core component of our Collective Worship.

We have stickers for each of these values, which we award when someone demonstrates one of our values in school.

Pentecost

Year 1 led our Collective Worship with a wonderful presentation which included readings, prayers and singing.
We all visited the church and enjoyed singing together while thinking more about the Pentecost story.​
