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.
