School Vision
Our school vision is rooted in the book of Isaiah chapter 40 verse 31 which tells us that those who have hope in the Lord will renew their strength.
Our hope in God leads us to have high aspirations for our learning community. We value the uniqueness of each child, made in the image of God, and seek to provide a holistic, enriched curriculum and pastoral care, empowering everyone with the strength, knowledge and wisdom to succeed and flourish.
As a Church of England school we believe we have a duty to serve the common good. We offer a warm welcome to pupils of all faiths, races, creeds and abilities. This hospitality is evident in the genuinely inclusive nature of our school and our constant drive to develop our practice in this area.
In order for our pupils to ‘soar on wings like eagles’ (Isaiah 40.31) we focus on raising their aspirations and opening their eyes to new possibilities. This is essential if we are to foster confidence, delight and discipline in learning. Our pupils enjoy a broad and balanced curriculum that promotes ‘life in all its fullness’ (John 10:10), so that they can reach their potential. We hope to inspire pupils by bringing them into contact with a variety of specialists and visitors, through workshops, visits, long-term collaborations and participation in performances and competitions. We take regular advantage of enrichment opportunities provided by the wealth of cultural institutions that London has to offer.
We embrace excellence and academic rigour, but place it within a wider framework where pupils are also encouraged to stretch themselves spiritually, morally, imaginatively and actively. Our Christian Values are at the heart of all we do and provide the foundations on which we build our pupils’ understanding of what it means to ‘live well together’. The basic principle of respect for the value and preciousness of each person underpins our approach to teaching about relationships and how pupils fit into a diverse community in a fast-changing world.
There are 3 core drivers that help us to realise our vision:
- Raising Aspirations
- Reaching Our Potential
- Learning to Live Well Together
