How was our vision crafted and how does it support the life of the school?
​
-
All stakeholders, children, staff, governors and parents were involved in the revision and re-wording of our vision during Autumn 2022.
-
We explored the context of our school, our catchment, our demographics and the needs of our community.
-
We considered simplicity so that all stakeholders could understand, articulate, and live out our vision.
-
We sought to adopt a theologically rooted vision that encapsulates our school’s aspirations for both academic and personal success.
-
We wanted a vision that celebrates our diversity and has inclusivity at its heart.
-
We wanted a vision statement where our school could be recognisable through its words.
