Our Vision

Building Learning, Friendships and Faith

For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works.  Ephesians 2 v10

We seek to serve our diverse community by enabling each pupil to flourish through a creative and rich curriculum rooted in our Christian ethos.  We believe in the holistic development of our pupils, where individuality, inclusivity and spirituality shine through, empowering them to achieve their God-given potential.

Our Ethos

Parish Church of England Primary School seeks to serve its community by providing excellent and creative education in a Christian setting.

Believing that all people are created and loved by God, Parish School has a real and deep concern for each individual, rooted in an ethos, which welcomes and affirms.  All are to feel valued and each pupil is to have the very best chance of personal and educational development. 

Learning and teaching is to be of the highest quality and personalised in order to meet individual needs. This will lead to excellent standards of achievement and the opportunity for each pupil to realise her or his learning potential. Parish School pupils will become confident, independent and happy lifelong learners who take responsibility for their choices in a diverse and rapidly changing world.

Our Aims

Our aim is for a School:

• which provides excellent and creative education in a Christian setting
• which has a dedicated and hard-working staff, working in partnership with parents to provide an environment where children grow and have a thirst for their learning
• where children enjoy a rich and exciting curriculum with a wide range of additional artistic musical and sporting activities for all ages
• where all feel valued and where all are learning to care for one another

Our aim is for pupils who, when they leave:

• are enthusiastic about continuing to learn and take responsibility for themselves and their own learning
• accept their share in the responsibility of all for the world and society
• embrace values which will enable them to live with respect, generosity, integrity and care
• are able to embrace change whilst holding to their core values

As part of the Aquinas Trust the school is committed to the Aquinas ethos and values.
