stakeholders, they permeate the working life of the school and have a significant impact on pupil achievement and
well-being."

everyone is regarded as unique and special in the eyes of God."

"Pupils say how much they love school and enjoy learning. The distinctive Christian character and key values of hope, perseverance, kindness and responsibility are known and understood by all the pupils."
