Our Vision
"We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us" Philippians 4:13
We are incredibly proud to belong to a Christian school. The distinctive Christian vision underpins everything we do. Knowing that Christ is here with us, to strengthen us, means that we have high aspirations and expectations. He inspires us to live by our Christian values and to promote them wherever we are.
Our dreams are big and with Christ by our side we can make them come true.

Who was St Margaret?
Her story is purely legendary but it is one that inspires us!
Margaret was a Christian living in Antioch. At the time many people were put to death because they were Christians. Margaret was asked to denounce Christianity but she would not.
The legend then says that Margaret prayed to God to ask that her enemy be made visible to her. At that point a terrifying dragon appeared and attempted to swallow her. The cross that Margaret was wearing choked the dragon and it had to spew her back up. Margaret defeated the dragon.
It is not the legend that matters but that she is one of God’s countless faithful saints who died for the faith as Christians are doing in many parts of the world even today. She reminds us that being faithful means being true to our beliefs even when it is hard.

This cross is made from the children's decorated hand prints, displayed with the Christian value for the half term and a bible quote. Around the word 'generosity', the children have shared their initial thoughts about what it means. Below, there is a 'Feelings box,' with supplied pens and paper, for the children to write and deliver messages about things they are proud of, worried about, happy about etc.
