About Our School

Our school lies on the borders of Cambridgeshire and Suffolk, and serves the villages of Cheveley, Ashley, Kirtling, Woodditton, Upend and Saxon Street. We also have children attending from outside our catchment area.

We are a voluntary controlled Church of England School, belonging to the Ely Diocese, and have close links with our local church and the local and wider community.

Vision:

Dream  Believe Work Achieve

Values:

Our Christian values of Hope, Faithfulness, Courage, Joy and Love are linked to our school values.

Mission Statement:

Inspire everyone to achieve their very best through Christ who strengthens them.
‘I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me’.
Philippians 4:13

As a Christian school, our values greatly inform all of the decisions we make for the children, staff, governors, families, community and wider links. They reflect the way we ‘live’ in our school.

Aims:

We seek to ensure that our children achieve the following:

* Have a passion for learning, feel ready for the future and have the motivation and determination to keep on learning more.

*Have a range of experiences through an enriched curriculum.

*Know what it feels like to succeed at something and achieve their very best.

*Understand how incredible they are as unique individuals, believe in themselves and have the confidence and resilience to follow their ambitions.

*Feel supported, listened to and included by a staff team that cares for them.

*Have the opportunity to be recognised for their achievements and celebrate their successes.

*Grow healthy and strong and gain an understanding in how to look after their body and mind.

*Know friendship and learn how to get along well with other people.

*Feel part of the school and wider community, proud of their school and feel inspired to make a difference to the places they live and the wider world.

*Have a good understanding of the Christian faith, the faiths of others and feel informed enough to follow their own beliefs.
