From the Taxal and Fernilee CofE Primary School
As a church school, Taxal and Fernilee's culture and beliefs are influenced by Christian values. Everything we do in school has a connection to these problems and has an impact on the subjects we teach. For instance, ENDURANCE refers to working hard and persevering when learning is challenging. We think that in order to get along and appreciate diversity, we all need to be accepting of one another. We think that through fostering community values at our school, we may learn to help one another and experience support ourselves. We think that in order to overcome new obstacles with confidence, we need to learn how to work hard and build resilience.
