Birchwood C of E Primary School

Our School Values are:

· Perseverance       · Hope         · Respect        · Trust        · Friendship      · Love

Our Christian ethos and values underpin all of our actions.  We believe everyone has limitless potential and that all of our children can achieve if given rich opportunities, experiences, care and guidance.  With children who are eager to learn, parents and Governors who are supportive, our team of dedicated staff promote a culture of creativity with high aspirations where there are no barriers to a child’s success.  We challenge our children and ourselves to be the best we can be in a safe, rich and purposeful environment, while learning together through faith, fun and friendship. 

We have high expectations and relentlessly strive for excellence.  We encourage children to take pride in their presentation, environment and learning.  We expect children to demonstrate excellent manners and behaviour with respect for others and their environment.  Staff work closely together to ensure consistency of these expectations and a shared responsibility for all children regardless of class or year group

Birchwood C of E is:

• A caring place where we thrive in a safe and nurturing environment.
• An exciting place, where we explore our Christian faith, imagine, create and develop our determination to succeed through our daily actions, thoughts and words.
• A supportive place where children, parents, staff, governors and the wider community work together to ensure all children achieve their potential.
