• Making a difference – God seeks the flourishing of all.  Working together, we strive to realise this for each person, for our whole school community and for our world. FLOURISHING

Our work is set in the context of the Church of England Vision for Education, ‘Deeply Christian, Serving the Common Good,’ Autumn 2016 and educating for:

• Wisdom, knowledge and skills

• Community and living well together

• Respect and dignity

• Hope and aspiration

As a church school within the Diocese of Lincoln and Lincoln Anglican Academy Trust we embrace the Diocesan Vision for, ‘Church schools serving their communities through excellence, exploration and encouragement within the love of God.’

As defined:

Excellence:

The Diocese and Trust believes that Church Schools must provide an opportunity for all pupils and staff to become the best that they can be including, but not limited to, academic excellence.

Exploration:

The Diocese and Trust  believes that a Church school should be a place where the community can explore safely the things of the world, of humanity of faith and of God, without fear of judgement, condemnation or ridicule. It should be a place where it is acceptable to enter into and leave discussion, to offer different views, to disagree and to involve people of all ages, cultural backgrounds and faiths.

Encouragement:

Church schools should be places that meet the present needs of their communities and encourage them to find fresh ways of thinking and being and acting. This encompasses matters of justice, hope and prophecy.

Our school vision, set in the context of a Christian ethos, is lived out through our aims and values creating a community in which we can all grow. 

We aim to provide a broad, balance and creative curriculum which will support each one of us to become successful learners, confident individuals and responsible citizens.
