‘Growing and Flourishing Together’
The parable of the Mustard Seed
Matthew 13:31-32: “He told them another parable: the kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. Though it is the smallest of all seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds come and perch in its branches.”
Just as the mustard seed needs nurturing, our children need love, patience and guidance to develop fully. Through a Christian community rooted in God’s love, pupils are supported to flourish together academically, emotionally and spiritually. This is lived out through our Christian values of Compassion, Courage, Faith, Friendship, Gratefulness, Hope, Love and Perseverance.
We promote the social, moral, spiritual, cultural, emotional and physical development of children at school. We prepare children for the challenges, opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of adult life.
We are inclusive and welcoming to those of all backgrounds and faiths; all individuals are respected, supported and nurtured. This can be seen in the value we place on personal relationships, the importance we give to good manners, respect for the opinions and beliefs of others, and celebration of diversity.
Our vision extends beyond the school gates, where we hope to see our wider community touched by the values lived by everyone in the school. We feel that if walking through life together, we can all flourish so everyone can live life in all its fullness.
