A small school with a BIG vision

Our Christian vision

Our small school is the rich soil that enables our community to develop deep roots to flourish; nurturing values of courage, hope and respect.

Matthew 13 v23

Some fell on good earth and came up with a flourish, producing a harvest exceeding his wildest dreams.

(The Message)

Our vision, created in 2018, is embedded within our ethos and underpins our daily provision. It draws inspiration from the Parable of the Sower, particularly relevant to our farming context. 

Our school is the good ground that allows all who come into contact with it to grow well. Its seeds (pupils, staff and community) are given a rich diet to thrive into the best ‘plant’ possible. Our seeds are cared for during all ‘seasons’, given support and protection when it is needed and encouragement to flourish. The plants are strong and resilient, able to live peacefully and spiritually with those around them. The rich harvest is the end result of this labour for pupils, staff and the community – the brightest of futures.

Our vision is underpinned by our core Christian values of hope, respect and courage.
