Our Vision

We know that the primary school years are the most impressionable years where the foundations of learning need to be laid down. Cognitive development, reading and maths skills are secured, when language is acquired, curiosity and imagination are developed and when a child actually learns most of the skills and knowledge they require for life.

In these years, the children also develop a sense of responsibility, self-discipline, acquire personal values and self-knowledge, enriched through music, sport, art, drama, faith and a choice of school clubs and activities.

We call this ‘educating the whole child’. This is our mission.

It is something we are passionate about as educators and supported by GST and the Diocese of Guildford, we are committed to preparing the children in our care the best we can for their life beyond our school gates.

 

Core Values

We adopt these Values across all areas of the school, exploring with the children a different Value for each School term.
