We are an inclusive school and our vision, though distinctively Christian, welcomes and values all faiths and cultures within our diverse school community.

We want every child in our care to:
- know that they are special, unique, valued and loved;
- experience life in its fullness and achieve their fullest potential;
- have a high self-regard and positive mental health;
- make excellent educational progress, regardless of their background or starting points;
- show love, compassion and respect towards themselves, each other and their world;
- be equipped with the necessary skills and character to overcome challenges that they may encounter in life;
- flourish with their unique God-given talents in all that they choose to do.


We can offer you:
- amazing children who will fill your heart with joy every single day;
- a family-orientated and calm working environment;
- the opportunity to implement your own ideas alongside a group of enthusiastic Early Years professionals;
- a supportive senior leadership team, committed to your success;
