Church School Inspection Headlines for Parents
💖 Living Our Vision
Our Christian vision of being a "good neighbour", inspired by the parable of the Good Samaritan, is clearly seen in everyday school life. We are a school that welcomes everyone, shows kindness, and helps each other reach our God-given potential.
"The school’s actions and decisions are rooted in its vision... underpinned by a desire to love everyone."
👪 Strong Relationships and Community Spirit
Staff, pupils, and families all work together with trust, compassion and forgiveness at the heart of what we do. The report highlights the strong sense of community and the way in which staff go above and beyond to support all children, especially those who are most in need.
"Adults serve their school community and demonstrate to their pupils how to treat everyone well."
🙏 Collective Worship and Spiritual Growth
Worship is a joyful and reflective part of each day, helping pupils and adults to pause, think and connect. The Faith Council gives pupils a chance to lead and shape worship, making it meaningful and inclusive.
"Collective worship is deeply rooted in the school’s vision and values... offering spiritual flourishing."
🌱 Learning with Purpose
The curriculum is rich, creative and inspiring. From daily story and snack times to powerful discussions about justice and the environment, pupils are taught to think deeply, act kindly, and learn responsibly.
"Pupils know and believe that their actions can make a big difference in the world."
🌍 Understanding Faith
Religious Education is well-led and thoughtfully planned, helping pupils explore different beliefs with depth and respect. Pupils become confident, reflective thinkers, ready to engage with life’s big questions.
"Pupils develop sophisticated ideas and respond creatively to their learning."
🔧 Next Steps for Even Greater Impact
