Christian Distinctiveness

Holy Communion 

On Wednesday Year 5 and 6 went to St James' Church to take part/witness a Holy Communion service. When we first arrived, we met members of the congregation and spoke to them about the importance of Holy Communion, or the Eucharist as it is also known. This followed on from the visits that Rev. Keith had already made to school about the theology behind communion. If we had been confirmed, we were able to take communion or if not we received a blessing. It was a really enjoyable morning and it taught us a lot. Many thanks to Rev. Keith and the congregation for allowing us to join in with this special event. 

Vision Statement
With faith we live, learn and grow together.

Christian Values

Our Christian values are based on how God created each one of us to follow in his footsteps. As a school we believe that everyone is amazing, loved, valued, wonderful and unique, because God made us that way. 

In our discussions, worships and celebrations we focus on the values of: justice, compassion, reconciliation, perseverance, courage and respect.

We teach these values explicitly through our daily collective worship, using the publication ‘Roots and Fruits’ as a starting point. This is supplemented by other resources linking to the liturgical year as appropriate. Worship is then extended into the classroom and into daily life in and outside school. Parents receive a newsletter each term giving further details of the focus value for that term and certificates are given out in our Family Worship every Friday morning to celebrate achievements linked to each value. We also take part in weekly open the book worships which explore stories from the bible in an interactive way and visit the Church for significant events throughout the year.
