VISION

 

Being part of our tight-knit, vibrant community means many things, but mostly discovering the joy of learning. We champion immersive and impactful experiences that transcend the traditional classroom setting and leave pupils with memories to last a lifetime. Together we dream big and aim high. 

 

Be strong and let your heart take courage, all you who hope in the Lord – Psalm 31:24

VALUES

We believe that every member of the school community has a part to play in the success of the school. Everyone is part of the same metaphorical tree, and together we believe, grow and achieve.

Everything we do is grounded in Hope. Hope is not static or passive. It is dynamic, active, directive and life sustaining, like the roots and trunk of a tree.

Three core Gospel values underpin all we do: Service, Courage and Respect. These are the main branches of our tree, supporting the fruits, and sustaining their growth.

From each branch grow the ‘fruits’ – demonstrated by everything we do. Each branch will produce fruit through every member of the school community. This is what others see when they encounter our school community.  

  • Growing from Service: Love, Generosity, Compassion and Humility.
  • Growing from Courage: Resilience, Perseverance, Creativity and Independence.
  • Growing from Respect: Trust, Kindness, Friendship and Thankfulness.

SERVICE

The Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and give his life as a ransom for many.

COURAGE

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.

  • Deuteronomy 31: 6

The Roots

The source of faith for all we do.

Everything is grounded in Hope.

In the Bible, hope is never a static or passive thing. It is dynamic, active, directive and life sustaining. In other words, a biblical hope is not an escape from reality or from problems.

Be strong and let your heart take courage, all you who hope in the Lord.

Psalm 31:24
