From the Bardney Church of England and Methodist Primary School
As a loving church school, our goal is to provide each student the tools they need to "live life to the full" (John 10:10). Every child should have access to a wide range of rich and interesting opportunities that will help them grow in self-assurance, joy, and wonder. Our values—forgiveness, fairness, trust, honesty, compassion, friendship, and respect—are based on Christian principles. Every child is special, and we value that. We work hard to develop their unique talents and character. Assist everyone in our school community in realising their potential. Give each child the chance to grow into an inquisitive thinker with the capacity to question and discuss things in order to help them become self-sufficient, lifelong learners. Establish a setting that is committed to encouraging high levels of accomplishment for all students and a love of learning that will last a lifetime in a Christian atmosphere.
