Welcome to St Philip’s CofE Primary School

At St Philip’s Church of England Primary School, we are committed to providing a welcoming, inclusive and stimulating environment where every child is known, valued and supported to thrive. Rooted in Christian love, our community fosters mutual respect, responsibility and compassion.

What God has created, we nurture and celebrate in His love.

Our Vision

St Philip’s is a joyful, inspiring and inclusive community of learners. We provide a safe and caring environment where everyone is respected, learning is accessible to all, and diversity is celebrated.

We believe that each person is created in the image of God and has unique gifts and potential. This belief inspires us to pursue excellence, show kindness, and care for one another and for the world God has made.

As a Church school, Christ is at the heart of all we do — the unseen but ever-present teacher in our classrooms, the guide for our staff, and the inspiration for our pupils. Gospel values of love, hope, forgiveness and service underpin our actions and relationships, helping our children to develop spiritually, morally and socially while learning to live well together in our diverse society.

At St Philip’s, we believe learning should be adaptive, inclusive and meaningful. Through high-quality, responsive teaching, we meet each child where they are — recognising different starting points, interests and needs — and support them to achieve their full potential.

We value strong, positive partnerships between staff, families and the wider community. Together, we celebrate success, nurture wellbeing and encourage a lifelong love of learning.

Our vision reflects the Church of England’s call for “life in all its fullness” (John 10:10), ensuring that every child flourishes academically, spiritually, socially and emotionally.

Through trust, teamwork and faith, we live out our mission every day:
What God has created, we nurture and celebrate in His love.
