Our Christian Vision
Our school is a Safe, welcoming place where everyone, including the vulnerable, is valued, nurtured and encouraged. Enquiring minds grow a 'Love of learning'; become fluent readers; and appreciate the world, themselves and others. Our rich, creative curriculum provides time and space for the mind to grow and spirit to Flourish.
We are a Church of England school and we live out our Christian Vision in our everyday school life. We have a daily act of Collective Worship and Rev. Paul is a regular visitor to our school - leading collective worship (both in school and in church), as a governor, and as a friend.

Simile Poem - written by KS2 - At Harvest Time (an extract)
Leaves spin like a tornado,
And glide like a swooping vulture,
Then fall to the ground like a bird with an injured wing.
At Harvest time
Cobwebs as intricate as a painting by Turner,
Hang from threads, like diamond jewellery in a shop,
And blackberries, like pupils, grower bigger and blacker.
At Harvest time
Tractors as loud as a traffic jam,
Crunch through leaves that have fallen to the ground like ripped up paper,
With a sound like the bite of toffee apple.
At Harvest time
Thinking Globally about Development and Understanding About Deprivation

We have been inspired by our class text- Kick by Mitch Johnson. It is based in Indonesia. This has made us appriciate how lucky we are and what is happening around the world. We have researched the deprivation and exploitation of the natural world. We will be building on this through supporting another deprived area- Romania.
Our church is St. Michael the Archangel, Markington.
