Our school priorities, for the academic year 2023-2024 are strategically focussed to enable the school to develop and improve in line with our vision and values.
Our School Development Plan (SDP) ensures that our effort and resources are focused and meaningful. The children are at the heart of every decision we make and our distinctive Christian vision of “In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.” (Matthew 5:16) underpins each decision we make to ensure that our children flourish socially, spiritually and academically; it is the measure of our success across all of the communities we serve.
This document is a constantly evolving, updated and reviewed by Governors and in the monitoring activities undertaken by the Senior Leadership Team and middle leaders across the school.
