🎨 Our Ethos Tree Artwork

Local artist and parent Helen Rhodes was commissioned to create a bespoke Ethos Tree for our entrance foyer. The artwork beautifully captures the values, faith, and community spirit that define our school.

Every element of the painting reflects what we hold dear:

• Birds on the branches represent each class within the school.

• Bird houses symbolise our school house teams.

• The cross represents our church and Christian foundation.

• The quotation “And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of our nations” (Revelation 22:2) reflects the role and guidance of our Governing Body.

• Each bird carries a Christian value.

• The blossom represents our pupils, shown in their different coloured sweatshirts.

This stunning artwork reminds everyone who enters our school of our shared values, identity, and purpose.

🤝 Community, Belonging and Working Together

Across the school, we actively promote:

• Working together

• Caring for and supporting one another

• A strong sense of community and belonging

Our partnerships strengthen this ethos at every level:

• Rise Multi Academy Trust – Schools that work together

• Our Parish – A local community that works together

• Our School – Everyone counts

• Our School Houses – Teamwork across the school

• Our Phases – Teamwork within our bases

• Our Classes – Every individual matters

 

Our school house system complements our rewards programme and reinforces cooperation, collaboration, leadership, and teamwork across the whole school.

 

 

Named after local habitats and to complement the Birds we use as class names. Each child will be a member of one of these houses and inter-school events such as Sports Days will have an added element of competing for House success. Individual achievement is also recognised.
