LOVE, TRANSFORMATION, GROWTH

John 15 verse 16

"You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit – fruit that will last" 

 

Here at Offenham CE First School, it is our desire to provide abundant opportunities for every member of our school community. We endeavour to build on the foundations of wisdom, hope, community and dignity, enabling all to thrive and flourish and to be the best they can be in the light of their unique God-given potential. We seek to provide an excellent education that considers the needs and aspirations of all.

Our School Vision

To grow together as a loving school community, where everyone is committed to the ongoing pursuit of excellence. To be a place where, through the joy and hope of the resurrection, there is transformation, growth and progress in children’s social, moral, spiritual, cultural and academic lives.

Our Roots and fruits

Roots - Our school values (VIVs) - Friendship, Perseverance, Respect, Responsibility and Truth.

Fruits - Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness and self-control.

Our Root Values are evident in all aspects of our school life together. We strive for every child to develop deep roots, enabling them to become resilient, to flourish and grow, and to bear abundant fruit in their own lives.

Through personal growth, individuals are equipped to serve others and contribute to the common good of all.

Galatians 5:22 refers to the fruits as the visible signs of this growth and transformation.

Our School Motto –

“Growing deep roots. Producing good fruit"

Our school badge –

“Each child unique; chosen and known by God – their name written on the palm of God’s hands”

“Each person ‘well-held’ by everyone in our school community”
