Our Vision & Values

"With the love of God, Shine, Lead, Inspire!"  

Matthew 5:14 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”

During the summer of 2025, with the support of our Christian Distinctiveness Adviser, staff, parents, governors, and, most importantly, our children, we launched our new school vision: “With the love of God, Shine, Lead, Inspire!”

At the heart of our vision is a deep understanding of who we are within our community and the wider world. Rooted in the Trinitarian nature of our Christian faith, our vision reflects the love of God the Father, the example of Jesus the Son, and the guiding presence of the Holy Spirit. Together, these inspire us to shine brightly, lead with compassion, and inspire others through our words and actions.

Our vision is enriched through our close partnership with our parish church and woven through every part of school life—from worship and learning to play and service. Guided by biblical scripture, we encourage every child to grow in faith, confidence, and kindness so that they may carry the light of God’s love beyond our school gates, making a positive difference in the community and the world around them.

Our 'TORCHES' Values

We are committed to developing children within a secure, happy and caring Christian community.

There is a commitment to excellence which ensures everyone achieves their full personal, social and academic potential in our culturally diverse technologically changing and often challenging world.

As a school we uphold and promote the following values:

Trust
We lead and encourage pupils to develop qualities of trust so that children interact with others in order to be co-operative and to make a positive contribution to our society.

Open Minds
We positively encourage pupils to have open minds to all aspects of their learning and to seek to ‘grow as learners’ in all areas of their life.

Respect
We encourage all members of our school community to have respect for each other and their school, learning to be tolerant and understanding of alternative lifestyles, religions and cultures.

Caring
We instill the importance of caring for each other, offering support and genuine concern for each other’s well-being so that children develop
a strong sense of social responsibility.

Honesty
At all times, we encourage and expect pupils to demonstrate qualities of honesty so that pupils appreciate the importance of truth and learn to act with integrity.

Ever Hopeful
Forever accepting that hope is something which we can all hold on to; instilling a sense of never giving up, going that extra mile and being persistent in all we do.

Spiritual
Demonstrating our faith, being guided by our Christian principles and having a respect for biblical and spiritual teaching.
