Christian Character
Our school Christian vision is based upon God's words in the Bible:
God said, “You are precious in my eyes and I love you.” (Isaiah 43:4)
Our hope is to provide a school and education setting where all in our school community can flourish. Where each individual is known, seen and loved. We hope to achieve this by giving each individual in our school community a true sense of belonging. A place where all are welcomed, highly valued and treated with dignity and respect. Where education goes beyond the academic to include spiritual and personal growth, overcoming the challenges and removing the barriers which many face in our community.
We developed this vision thoughtfully and collaboratively, working closely with staff, pupils, and governors to ensure it truly reflects the heart of our school community and its unique context. This shared commitment helps us create an environment where everyone feels valued and supported.
Family and community are at the heart of our school; we are are all connected—Ubuntu—the wellbeing of each individual affects the whole community. 'I am because we are'.
Our school story from Luke 19: 1- 10 Zacchaeus, reminds us daily that as God’s precious children, we believe in unconditional fresh starts: we do not need to be defined by the mistakes or circumstances of our past, but confidently strive to be the best version of ourselves.
This means that we empower in everyone the capacity to grow and flourish, and we support and encourage them to do so. In this way, we follow the footsteps of Jesus: when he met Zacchaeus (Luke 19:1-10), he offered him friendship and forgiveness, and the promise of hope through following God, for which Zacchaeus was deeply thankful.
We use this Biblical passage to guide all our relationships and endeavors.
