In partnership with parents and the Christian Community we seek to provide an education which through Christ-centred relationships will develop the pupils’ characters and gifts and also lead them into God’s purposes for themselves, the church and the world.
'Partnership with Parents' - means that we believe that God has given the responsibility for their children’s education to parents. The role of the school is to support them in that task. We see the parents as vital to the life of the school and the roles of the parents and school as complementary. Our pupils come from diverse backgrounds and a sense of community in the midst of diversity is valued.
'The Christian Community' - means the broad and varied community of churches and ministries which are seeking to serve God in this area. We are also a part of a national network of Christian schools with a vision for Christ-centred education. Our board of governors is a body of local Christian leaders. We seek to support the churches in their responsibilities to train and equip their young people to serve God.
'Provide an Education' - means not just merely communicating facts, but communicating that all knowledge comes from God and honours Him. We believe that this is a challenge to explore, investigate and learn to be responsible for God’s creation in all aspects of life.
'Christ-Centred Relationships' - means relationships which are based on love and respect for each other as valuable in God’s sight. It means security based on respect for authority as God’s means of care and protection in our lives. We acknowledge our need of prayer to maintain these relationships.
'Develop Character' - means establish the habit of making good moral choices, of maintaining right relationships with each other and with God. We strive to see the pupils grow in responsibility and perseverance.
'Develop Gifts' - means that each child is seen as a unique creation, having diverse abilities and potential. We aim to draw out these gifts and to give pupils the skills to use them to the full.
'God’s Purpose' - means that God has plans for and expectations of each of us which are unique and personal and are designed for our good. We want the pupils to be prepared to fulfil God’s plans for them both in the Church and in the world.
