Our Christian Vision and Values
Knights Templar Community Church School
Our Christian Distinctive Vision
“For everyone to be the best they can be, with a thirst for learning, a zest for living and a spirit of kindness.”
It is our aim for all children to flourish into confident individuals, successful learners and responsible citizens.
Our vision reflects our:
- Christian understanding of God, as a loving empowering God who loves each of us as individuals and through his guidance encourages us all to flourish and grow in all aspects of our lives.
- Belief in equality and inclusivity in God’s wonderful world in which we live, the part we each have to play in protecting it and celebrating life in all of its forms.
This is achieved through our Core Christian Values of Hope, Love, Commitment and Belonging.
