Our school vision focuses on "Working together to be happy; to flourish; to succeed". We are keen to promote children's charitable outreach and support all children to make a wider difference. We help others in a range of ways.
How good and pleasant it is when God's people live together in unity!
Caring for our world and community
The children have learned to take more care of their belongings and surroundings, learning to appreciate all that they have and feel fortunate to live in such a beautiful area. As a result, the children walked around the local community in order to find any areas for improvement. Consequently, they organised a park clean up, where they completed gardening tasks, cleaned the equipment and collected rubbish. The children often bring rubbish into school that they have found on their journey to / from school or the surrounding area.
Our dedicated group of pupil Environmental Leaders help to lead the school's efforts against climate change.
Supporting the work of the RNIB
The children in Adventurers were inspired by the work of the RNIB. The children see first hand the great work of the charity and wrote letters to them to find out how we can all help keep this making a difference.
Our Partnership with the Zambezi Sunrise Trust
We are incredibly proud of our partnership with the Zambezi Sunrise Trust, who support the work of Linda Community Primary School, in Zambia. Trustees from the Trust regularly visit the school to share the work of the charity and their impact. We also enjoy ongoing virtual contact, as well as pen pal letters.
Our fundraising worked has gathered over £2000 of support for the Charity. From regular bake sales, to individual class projects and one child even publishing their own book, with proceeds for the charity, there has been a range of opportunities for everyone!
Successes so far include buying over 100 text books for Linda Community School and sponsoring nearly 50 knitted teddy gifts.
Supporting the Children's Heart Unit Fund (CHUF)
Each year, we come together as a school to wear red and raise funds and awareness for the Children's Heart Unit Funs. The Children’s Heart Unit Fund raises vital funds to support children and their families requiring lifechanging operations and care. We have seen first hand the impact of this amazing charity on our own community. To raise funds and awareness, the children enjoy making lots of heart related art, as well as creating their own jokes which could be told in the hospital to cheer families up - they even found out that the charity has a clown doctor to help do this! The children also wrote prayers and created their own messages of support.
We also hold our own bake sale to raise funds and have raised a staggering amount of financial support for the work of the charity.
Supporting the Gaza Crisis with Save the Children
As part of our Harvest Festival, families very kindly donated to support the aid efforts in Gaza. As a school, we were able to raise £116.80 to donate. This really will make a huge difference.
Toilet Twinning
Inspired by our Collective Worship, focused on Water Aid and twinning toilets, the children requested a collection plate in St John's Church for our Easter Service. Children made donations from their own pocket money, alongside family donations. In total, £180 was raised in donations, which allowed the school to twin three toilets.
