The Distinctiveness of being a Church of England School
The Distinctiveness of being a Church of England School
The purpose of a Church of England school is to provide children from the local area and beyond with a broad and balanced curriculum that offers a spiritual dimension to the lives of young people, within the traditions of the Church of England.
We aim to nurture growth within our learning community and embody this through our theological rooted Christian vision that acknowledges we are all capable of thriving and living well together regardless of our faith, starting points or background.
We have strong links with our local village church, St Mary the Virgin, Ardleigh. Our local vicar and members of the church regularly visit the school and leads Collective Worship and guides the children in singing assemblies. Harvest Festival, Christmas and Easter are all celebrated at church. These services are jointly planned and prepared with the local vicar. Parents and friends of the school are always invited and encouraged to attend and participate in these services.

We recognise the importance of engaging and interacting with people and organisations around us, not only because it has positive spin offs for the education of our children and the reputation of the school, it also helps us to operate and function more effectively. It is important that our children also recognise this too not only on a local scale but a global scale. This involves being courageous advocates and ambassadors for the school.
