# Meet the Staff

“Children are at the centre of all we do”

We encourage everyone in our school community to live life well reflecting Christian attitudes and values and working in partnership with families as part of a wider, caring community.

The hallmarks of a Christian life lived well are shown in the fruits of the Spirit–

‘But the fruit of the Spirit is: Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, Self-control. Against such things there is no law.’ Galatians 5:22 – 23

All staff at school look after each pupil, taking care to know each individual and ensure they are safe and happy in our care. Our classes are small and have a teacher, a teaching assistant as well as other staff to support the learning of each child. All staff and helpers undergo background checks to ensure the safety of each child in our care. Please contact the school to meet our friendly team.
