The ethos of this School is:
Recognising its historic foundation, the School will preserve and develop its religious character in accordance with the principles and practice of the Church of England and in partnership with the Church at Parish, Deanery and Diocesan level.
The School aims to serve its community by providing an education of the highest quality within the context of Christian belief and practice. It encourages an understanding of the meaning and significance of faith and promotes Christian values through the experience it offers to all of its students.
Governors hope that the parents who have chosen this School for their child have done so knowing that it is a Church of England School with a distinctive Christian ethos. Governors therefore expect parents to give their full support to this ethos.
We ask all parents applying for a place here to respect this ethos and its importance to the school community. This does not affect the right of parents who are not of the faith of this School to apply for and be considered for a place here.
