Information about the school

Our school vision is based upon Jesus’ words: “I am the vine, you are the branches. If you abide in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit.” (John 15:5) which speaks of how we live and grow together as a Christian community.

We provide opportunities for everyone to flourish and grow within the love of God. Guided by the teachings of Jesus, we cultivate creativity, excellence, and resilience, inspiring pupils and staff to develop their unique gifts and become the best versions of themselves. We aim to equip our diverse community to make a positive difference in the world.

Our core values of Service, Forgiveness, Trust, Generosity and Compassion were chosen to underpin this vision for our school.

Our vision highlights the importance of staying connected to a source of strength and guidance. Similarly, children need support from their families, teachers, and communities to thrive academically. Just as branches draw sustenance from the vine, children draw strength and inspiration from their support systems, enabling them to succeed and bear fruit in their educational journey.

The school also has strong links with the local church and the children are taught our Christian Values of compassion, trust, generosity, forgiveness and service. All children, staff, parents and governors display these values in the way that they interact and behave towards each other.

Our semi-rural location, approximately 3 miles from Canterbury, means that we benefit from beautiful natural surroundings which enhance our school curriculum offer. The school prides itself on the opportunities we provide the children in music, art and sports as well as high attainment and achievement in our development of the whole child.
