Our Vision
To be an inspirational place of learning where we strive for excellence, enabling every child to flourish and fulfil their unique potential. We aim to empower our pupils to become independent, reflective learners able to contribute to our ever-changing and diverse world. Our sense of community and Christian ethos provides a safe space that allows our children to have fun, explore, challenge themselves and achieve highly.
Our Values
Christian values underpin everything we do at Mark Cross CEA School and are always present in the way we interact with each other and with the wider community. We are kind and considerate, supportive and respectful. Assemblies and fundraising events throughout the year enable us to engage with the wider community and help others.
In addition, our pupils and school community explore twelve of our values in greater depth.
Our twelve Christian values are rooted in Bible teaching and represent the fruit that grows through teaching and everyday life. Each term we focus on one value which links with the seasons and celebrations of the Church year. The values are explored through collective worship, reflection in the classroom, reflection and prayer spaces around the school and during RSHE (Relationships, Social and Health Education) activities.
