In Isaiah 40:31 it says: “They will soar on wings like eagles.” This is our special Bible verse as it speaks of the fact that we are all a work in progress. It talks of the resilience we have through our faith in God.

Relationship is at the heart of all we do. We are a strong team and we believe it is essential to talk, to listen and to work well together. We pride ourselves in our outward relationships with our parents, carers and our community. We start our journey early in Little Owls Nursery at 3 years old and get to know our children very well.

Our Christian foundation is one which is rooted in togetherness. In the Bible it says: “Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labour: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up... Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm.” (Ecclesiastes 4:9–12).

We are aspirational for every child in our school. We want our children to be independent and resilient young people who love to learn and who will continue to thrive into adult hood. We are aspirational for every member of staff and keen to support all in professional development.

We believe well being to be the essential starting point before anybody can achieve their potential and are committed to supporting the mental wellbeing of our children, families and colleagues.

Having the courage to press on in the face of problems is an essential value for us if we are to succeed in life and in our learning. The Bible tells us that : “The Lord makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him; though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with his hand” (Psalm 37:23–24).

The values which we hold most important are those which enable us to live our vision. These are courage, compassion and respect. In our daily Collective Worship we explore these values through stories from the Bible, from other faith and cultural traditions and from real life examples in our world, country, community and school. We celebrate these values in action in our weekly Celebration Assemblies where children and staff are awarded 'Ixworth Incredibles' for demonstrating these values in action.
