Strategic Vision 2025-2028
At St Andrews our vision is to provide an exceptional, values-based education that nurtures the whole child, preparing every pupil for a lifetime of learning, achievement, and social responsibility. As the school of choice for families in our community, we take pride in offering an inclusive, dynamic, and forward-thinking learning environment where every child can flourish.
Our Vision: Inspiring Futures, Shaping Lives
We are committed to developing confident, compassionate, and capable young people who are ready to contribute meaningfully to society. We believe in an education that goes beyond academic success, ensuring that each pupil thrives in sports, arts, music and culture, and personal development.
What Makes Us Unique
- Values-Based Education – We believe that children should grow, living their lives with values at their core. Our school culture is built on Christian values including showing love and care to others, respecting differences and others around us, supporting each other through both good and bad times, creating positive friendships and being able to forgive and be forgiven, all whilst having fun and celebrating our successes.
- Excellence Across All Disciplines – We believe that all of our children should have the opportunities to master academic core knowledge while also exploring broader education experiences, including playing an instrument, singing in a choir, taking part in sports activities and teams, learning a foreign language. We enjoy celebrating personal achievement at all levels.
- A School of Choice – We are the preferred choice for families seeking a high-achieving, values based education that prepares children for the future.
- Community – We work closely with our school families, the church, local organisations, and the wider community to provide the broadest opportunities and experiences for our children whilst at St Andrew’s.
- Inclusive and Diverse – As a dedicated church school, we respect and encourage children and families from all faith backgrounds, or none, to flourish, ensuring that every pupil is valued and empowered.
- Lifelong Learning and Global Citizenship – In our increasingly complex world we want our pupils to grow up with the values to instinctively know right from wrong, positively contributing to the community in which we live, taking opportunities in life to be the best that they can be and shaping their own future.
Our Ambition
Over the coming years, we will continue to develop as a leading school that sets the standard for values driven education. Our strategic priorities include:
- Continuing our proud position of gaining higher than national average achievement across core subjects by the time children leave St Andrew’s.
- Enhancing our academic curriculum to promote creativity and real-world application, taking a lead in areas like caring for our environment.
- Valuing the whole person, their mental health and well-being, to ensure that all pupils and staff feel safe, supported, and inspired to achieve.
- Improving our school facilities, both inside and outside, to provide the best possible learning environment.
- Expanding our enrichment opportunities in outdoor education, sports, music and the arts to develop confidence and talent, including through school trips and clubs.
- Deepening our community partnerships to extend learning beyond the classroom
At St Andrews we believe that education is about more than just knowledge—it is about shaping character, nurturing potential, and setting every child on a path to a bright and successful future.
