'Hope is the anchor for our souls - a confident expectation that we will fulfil our goals or aims' (Hebrews 6 v.19)

We describe this as 'never giving up' and 'keep on going'.

In the Bible, it says 'forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heaven ward in Christ Jesus.'

As a school community, we actively support children and adults to seek new knowledge to make the world a better place. The school offers a broad and engaging curriculum, which allows the children to flourish from their own starting points, whilst meeting the academic and spiritual needs of all learners.  

'For wisdom will enter your heart

And knowledge will be pleasant for your soul'  

(Proverbs 2)

In our school community we appreciate that, as adults and children, we are 'agents of positive change' in the world.  

In the Bible it says

'Be strong and courageous!  Do not tremble or be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you, wherever you go'  (Joshua 1)

Stakeholders articulate this as 'we are always there for each other; we find the time to listen and try to understand each other's problems; celebrate each other's achievements without envy, commiserate when there is sadness'

'Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous (1 Corinthians 13:4)
