'Growing as a family to flourish in God's love'

 

Guided by God, we will provide rich, memorable learning experiences which build character in each individual child.

We will ensure that all children are able to experience God's wonderful world in all its fullness.

Together as a family we aim to: love, respect, aspire, trust, have hope and be resilient

 

Our Vision

In our school our Christian vision shapes all we do. Guided by God, we will provide rich, memorable learning experiences which will build character in each individual child.

We will ensure that all children are able to flourish and experience God’s wonderful world in all its fullness.

Together as a family we aim to love, respect, aspire, trust, have hope and be resilient.

 

Our vision is inspired by the Parable of the Sower (Matthew 13:1-23). We believe, as Jesus taught, that our school prepares the soil (our children) using the tools of our Christian values led environment, worship, culture, aspiration and pastoral care through our carefully selected seeds (opportunities) in our learning opportunities, curriculum and the wider Walmsley Experience.

The growth of the seeds represents how well the soil (our children) have received, nurtured and flourished in our Walmsley family.
