Our school helps us to walk with Jesus, to be the best that we can be.  Through God’s love and guidance, we create an ethos of shared endeavour, friendship and co-operation to help us flourish academically, emotionally and spiritually.

“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Philippians 4:13

Our ‘God Squad’ has been a group in progress over the past two years! The aim of the group is to make sure that our vision staement is lived out in the school, and children are encouraged to develop their spirituality by following the lead of the God Squad.

The God Squad meet on a weekly basis – they develop their ideas about their own spiritual journey in order to bring them closer to God and then share this knowledge with the children throughout the school. They also work with Joyce to write and lead any termly worship that they want to do, which takes place in church and invites our families and wider community. They embody and support our school’s Christian ethos.
