From the Hillesley Church of England Primary School
Our goal is to offer a warm, supportive environment for learning at the centre of our neighbourhood, which is consistent with the Christian values of our school.
We strive to offer our students, including those of other faiths and no faith, a high quality education within the context of Christian beliefs and practises as a Church of England Voluntary Aided (CEVA) school.
We promote Christian ideals throughout all facets of school life and encourage an understanding of what faith is all about.
Staff provide a good example by being calm, safe, and guiding for the students. The school is described by Hillesley students as "pleasant," "cosy and homely," "fun," "happy," "exciting," "peaceful," "hopeful," and "bright."
Here is a letter excerpt written by a prior Bishop's Visitor who paid the school a visit.
They were eager to show me their projects, exhibits, and everything else that was available to help them learn since they are very proud of the institution.
The two child groups that met with the governor of your charity and Rev. Russell were fantastic!
They were also able to talk about prayer and the chances they have to think and be silent at school.
The youngsters look to be very content, secure, and joyful in their educational setting.
The kids can talk about Jesus, God, and the Holy Spirit with ease and naturalness.
They are aware that the values, which are strongly rooted in the Christian faith, are significant in their lives and in the lives of the school community.
