The ethos of the family of schools is collaborative and participative. Every individual school has a voice, though the open and transparent governance and regular leadership meetings, in the key decisions, which affect each school.
Moreover, the family of schools aims to value the healthy diversity which exists in each school within the family, and we actively encourage each school joining us to maintain and further develop its own distinctive culture and identity.
When schools join our federation the autonomy of the school leaders remains.
Our vision
To realise the potential in all by creating a community of unique individuals who are guided by a shared light.
“I can do this through him who gives me strength.”
Philippians 4:13
Our Aims
As a family of schools we have shared aims that direct and guide our work both as individual schools meeting our respective local contexts, but also as a family of schools working together. These aims are:
- To provide an inspiring curriculum which stimulates and challenges all pupils and wherein pupils are the drivers of learning
- To provide a stimulating, caring and supportive environment in which every child is encouraged to do their very best to become well rounded, sociable and confident individuals.
- To encourage children to adopt an enthusiastic and positive attitude to life-long learning through high quality teaching and developing learning confidence in pupils
- To encourage children to develop an enthusiastic and positive attitude to learning through the celebration of success and achievement
- To foster independent thinkers who care about the life of our planet and are aware of their responsibility for its long term sustainability
- To offer a range of opportunities for pupils to develop healthy bodies and minds; taking responsibility for their own wellbeing as well as that of others
- To provide a clear moral framework which demonstrates respect, tolerance and understanding whilst celebrating diversity, so becoming caring and active members of our community
- To build positive and equitable partnerships with parents, carers and the local and wider community
- Provide positive patterns of behaviour, based upon the values of friendship, honesty, fairness, caring and sharing
- To provide a caring, Christian ethos without exerting pressure to believe, within which each child can explore and respond to his/her own spirituality.
