"Growing into all God wants us to be"

Matthew 13: verses 31-32 underpins our vision: The parable of the Mustard Seed.

Our vision guides the whole school community in ethical and charitable activities both in and out of school. We hold a number of events throughout the year and a selection of these events can be found below. 

School Events

• Harvest Festival - each year children and parents donate food items which are then displayed in St Mary's Church alongside donations from the village community.  Half of the produce is taken to a food bank in Brixton and the other half is delivered by our Year 6 pupils to local residents.
• Christmas Jumper Day - we support this event each year, raising money for Save the Children. 
• Carols and Cakes - at Christmas time we invite a number of local residents to the school to share an afternoon of carols, musical performances whilst being served tea and cake by our Year 6s. 
• Rotary Shoebox Scheme - we are asked to collect non food items, small enough to fit into a shoebox, to send to children in Romania and Ukraine, whose only Christmas gift will be the items in the shoebox. 
• Collections at school events - following events such as the Nativity, End of Year Play and music concerts, we collect donations for our school charities for example Folly Wildlife Centre.
• Red Nose Day - children are encouraged to think of innovative ways to raise money for this worthwhile charity. 

Community Events 

• Nourish Foodbank Appeal - one of our parents supports this appeal by asking the school community to put an essential food bag item into a box every day during the first 12 days of December.  These items are then sorted and delivered to the local foodbank to ensure that nobody goes without food over the festive period.
