We are extremely proud to be a Church of England School and have a close partnership with the Parish of St. Mary’s and the Diocese of Derby. We believe that all children should have ‘life in all its fullness’ John 10:10.
We all want the very best life opportunities for our pupils. Through perseverance in times of challenge we can succeed. Although academic success is important, we value most that our pupils revel in the awe and wonder of God’s creation. We wish for all our pupils to have compassion for others and live out God’s plan that he has for each of us.

Collective Worship
We are passionate about delivering thoughtful, inspiring Collective Worship that stimulates all to reflect. We have daily collective worship. Each half term we have a value that forms the theme for the worship.

Our values are:
Autumn 1: Respect
Autumn 2: Peace
Spring 1: Honesty
Spring 2: Kindness
Summer 1: Love
Summer 2: Connection
Each teacher plans and delivers a worship based upon the following:
Stories from other cultures and religions.
Stories from the Bible or Christian lives, missions and charities.
Mental health and wellbeing
Inspirational stories.
Each week we also hold a 'celebration' worship. Children are recognised for their achievements in school and their behaviour towards each other, adults and the environment through earning 'Fishy Points.' We also welcome achievements from outside of school where children can share how they are a part of their own communities whether that be sports clubs, Scouts, Cubs, Beavers, Guides, Brownies, Rainbows or individual achievements such as Blue Peter badges or fundraising events.
We invite all children to take part in Collective Worship, but are incredibly inclusive and give children choices, options and independence in how they join in, reflect and learn with us.

Spirituality
This is a complex and abstract concept, which is unique to each of us. We believe that spirituality is the opening of hearts and minds, through reflection, and the questioning of the world. It is the opportunity for us to discuss and challenge the wonder and the challenges we see in our world.
