Our Vision and Values

Our school is a member of the ‘Good Shepherd Trust’ and our core Christian values are at the heart of everything we do. We believe that everyone has something to offer. We seek to be a place that inspires all children to become their best selves and that each child's light shines brightly for all to see. We aim to follow the example of Jesus as we learn to use our gifts and talents to serve one another, the local community and the wider world. 

"You are the light that gives light to the world. A city built upon a hill cannot be hidden. And people don't hide a light under a bowl. They put the light on a lampstand. Then the light shines for all the people in the house. In the same way, you should be a light for other people. Live so that they see the good things that you do." 

Matthew 5 v 14-16

With this as our guide, we follow and promote our school's core Christian Values:

Love- love for one another, for the world in what we live, a love of learning and a love of life.

Integrity- We always try to do the right thing, even when no one is watching. We are honest and responsible. 

Generosity- We aim to share our time, resources, thoughts and knowledge and our talents and gifts.

Honesty- We are truthful in all we say and do

Trust- We believe in others and do what we say we will.

Our school sits on the beautiful Whitfield Estate and we work with the estate closely. The school is over 250 years old and was established by ancestors of the current estate owners to provide education for the village children- both boys and girls. Thus the original foundation of this special school was set up for equality from the outset. We still firmly hold equality and diversity as key elements of our school ethos.

We want to create a school family that lives well together and share what we have with the our local and global community.
