Our vocation as individuals and together as the Body of Christ
Jesus was asked, which commandment is the first of all, He answered
'to love the Lord our God with all our heart, with all our mind, with all our soul and with all our strength;
and to love our neighbours as ourselves'. (Mark 12.29-31)

Vision and Values
Share Your Light
Our Federation vision is based on the words “Share Your Light”. Through these words we encourage all members of the school community to take every opportunity that comes their way, live life to the full, celebrate and be aspirational. We recognise that every moment at school and in life is precious, we want to make the most of every moment. This is why we have chosen the scripture words from John 10:10 “Life in all its fullness”. Jesus wants us to share our talents and skills, and we want to honour God by ensuring this happens throughout our lives.
​
We will:-
-
Strive for the highest standards of teaching and learning, through an innovative, aspirational curriculum and practice.
-
Hold children at the heart of all we do, to help them to become confident, resilient, independent and respectful learners.
-
Support and care for one another, embrace Christian values and respecting the beliefs, traditions and cultures of others.
-
Create a warm, positive, nurturing and inclusive community in which everyone feels happy, safe and valued as individuals.
-
Provide an environment where praise and support lead to well-being, success and a hunger for learning.
