As a result, we have a Trust Deed (1834) that mandates that underprivileged children be educated as nearly as possible in accordance with the methodology developed and suggested by the Central National School. Currently known as the National Society, this group works to give Church of England schools a unique identity and culture where the growth of social, spiritual, and emotional intelligence is just as significant as academic success. Any church school's main goal is to maximise each student's potential for learning while maintaining a sense of God's love. Considering All God's Children, May 2014 We are honoured to serve at Dursley Church of England Primary Academy. We are passionate about working with families, communities, and children, and we want to provide every kid with the absolute best education possible. Our conviction that each person is special, valuable, and loved underpins everything we do. I give you this command: Love one another as I have loved you. John 15:12 . to offer the best education possible within the framework of Christian doctrine and behaviour.
