Values and Ethos

Our Motto

Learning with God and Each Other to be the Best We Can Be

Our Core Christian Value

Respect

Respect: The Good Samaritan, Luke 10: 25-37

Our School Vision

We are one Christ like family seeking to achieve our school aims and allowing all to flourish by demonstrating the same endurance, friendship, dignity and respect as the Good Samaritan did with respect as our key.

We will achieve this by demonstrating respect in all that we do as we live life together just as the Good Samaritan did.


Realising our God given potential
Enjoying each day
Supporting and serving our communities
Praising and worshiping
Encouraging each other

Treating others as we would want to be treated.  Luke 6: 31

Spiritual Development

Definition

Our academy definition of spirituality:

“Spirituality is the act of being fully human by revealing ourselves, our relationship with others, with beauty and the beyond and doing so through love and respect.”

How spirituality fits in with our Vision and Values

Realising our God given potential – self
Enjoying each day – beauty
Supporting and serving our communities – others
Praising and worshiping – wonder
Encouraging each other – others
Celebrating diversity – others
Treating others as we would want to be treated.  Luke 6: 31 – LOVE
