As a school we pledge to:

  • Be a happy school where pupils are encouraged and challenged to reach their full academic and social potential in a creative, friendly and safe Christian environment

  • Work as a partnership with pupils, their families, staff and the wider community to provide an environment of honesty, responsibility and integrity

  • Give ownership of the opportunities presented to the school family thus enabling them to reflect on their time at Walmsley with pride

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, show compassion 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.
