Our Christian Values

 As a school we have worked together to enhance our Christian Distinctiveness.  We focus on six key values across the year (one per term).  We worked together to choose our Christian values. They are:

Trust
Forgiveness
Endurance
Thankfulness
Friendship
Koinonia 

The promotion of Christian Values across the school support pupils not only in school but in the wider world.  They  encourage them to become respectful of themselves, others and the world around.  

We are an inclusive school and treat everyone people with respect.  One example of this is that we are working towards achieving the Rainbow Flag Award as a sign of our commitment to representing the LGBT+ community.
