Our School Vision
With God’s love, our overwhelming desire is that throughout their journey at Five Ashes, each child develop respect, courage, compassion and responsibility while building a portfolio of rich experiences and happy memories.
Five Ashes Primary is a caring community where all are cherished as individuals and can find comfort in the knowledge that God is with us.
Our nurturing community is built on a foundation of Christian values which constantly challenges our pupils, through high quality teaching and learning, to flourish as confident, independent and passionate young people.
Now we believe they can thrive.
“Don’t be afraid or discouraged, for I, the Lord your God, am with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9
Guiding Values
British Values
Whilst we are a Church of England school, we are also an inclusive school and regard people of all faiths, races and cultures with respect and tolerance. We promote the spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of our pupils and challenge opinions or behaviours that are contrary to fundamental British Values.
We acknowledge that we live in a multi-faith society and celebrate the common virtue that is universally respected across all world religions. This simple moral principle underpins our school’s Christian values.
