“I have come that you may have life - life in all its fullness,” 

Developing in our children the ability to find joy in life, the natural world, finding moral strength for their own lives.   
We celebrate our differences, welcoming families of different faiths, social and ethnic backgrounds to our school family.  

Our school story and theological basis to our curriculum is the parable of the loaves and the fishes. In this story that Jesus told we see the message that if we share what we have and make the most of what we have, all our lives will be enriched and full. In the parable there wasn’t enough food to go around for everyone but when people put their trust in God, we may have a fuller life.    

Children who attend our school are nourished, just as Jesus nourished with the feeding of the five thousand. We nourish the children with our time, giving them experiences that allow them to flourish. A rich curriculum has been developed which gives children opportunities above and beyond the National Curriculum. Adults alike are valued as individuals, supported and nourished in order that they too gain richness from each other and from being part of our school community. At Potters Gate School children and adults are constantly given love and care that they need in order to thrive. Just as the story of the loaves and the fishes emphasises the importance of coming together as a community and sharing a meal, we strive to create a welcoming and inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and part of a larger community. The story teaches us the importance of generosity and sharing. As a Church school, we encourage all members of our community to be generous and give to those in need, understanding that there is always enough to go around when we share what we have.
