LEARNING TOGETHER: LEARNING TO BE TOGETHER
Ethos, Vision and Values
Ethos Statement
Recognising its historic foundation, the school will preserve and develop its religious character in accordance with the principles of the Church of England and in partnership with the Churches at parish and diocesan level.
As a Christian Foundation School serving its community our mission is:
“To inspire and challenge the bodies, minds and souls of all learners, within a secure community underpinned by Christian values where all find respect for themselves, their families and their traditions.”
Our Vision
At Pye Bank we strive to create a school environment which is a happy and safe place for children every day, aiming for academic excellence for all children, through the highest expectation of what they can achieve.
We are a school who recognise the potential of every child in our care and strive at all times to meet their needs regardless of abilities and backgrounds. Every child, and member of our school community, is welcomed, nurtured and valued as a unique individual. Working in true partnership with our parents and carers and community we inspire and motivate our children, offering a challenging curriculum which is relevant, designed with memory in mind and reflects the values and the diversity of our amazing faith based community. We broaden experiences and draw on and extend existing talents and skills.
We support our children to ‘learn together and learn to be together’.
School Values
Our school values can be seen around school and they are the subject matter of many of our school assemblies. We talk about them when things go wrong - and also when they go well!

In order to fulfil our vision and our pledge to our families, all school leaders will look after, develop, support and challenge all staff so they can be the best that they can be for the children.
The school has a responsibility to support the British values laid out by the DfE. These values are supported fully by our nine school values. Children are supported to understand the values in the context of a diverse community where all faiths, cultures, views and ethnicities are valued and celebrated.
