Our Vision 

Through the School Council the children have said that their school, St Thomas à Becket CE  Voluntary Aided Primary School, is a place:

•    Where we share, and everyone in the community is welcome to join in.
•    Where we are encouraged to enjoy learning, to do our best and to have an enjoyable time.
•    Where we are encouraged to be a good friend and to be kind to each other.
•    Where we are supported at what we are good at, as well as helped and encouraged to get better.
•    Where everyone learns to look, listen, read and write.
•    Where everyone learns to behave well.
•    Where the classes are small, where everyone is special and has challenges.

To support this adults work together within the Christian ethos:

•    To continue to provide a caring village school which is integrated into the local community where parents are encouraged to be fully involved in the life of the school.
•    To provide an environment which identifies and develops the qualities and abilities of each and every individual.
•    To support every child’s moral and creative development, promoting strategies, skills and self confidence to thrive in our changing world.
•    To expect high standards of achievement in a vibrant environment in which everyone develops to their full potential.
•    To ensure classes are small so that every child knows they are valued and is given opportunities to excel.
•    To encourage enthusiasm and enjoyment for learning, while promoting an understanding of appropriate social behaviour.
