Our School Vision: ‘Let Your Light Shine’ (Matthew 5:16)

All children can aspire, flourish, and achieve. We provide a haven; somewhere to anchor in calm seas. We nurture community and curiosity; helping every child reach their God-given potential, letting their light shine in the world. Our school’s vision is theologically rooted and lived out through our Christian values. We believe that God created all and every life is precious to Him (Genesis 1:27). With this we feel we can grow, learn and flourish (John 10:10). We encourage children to embrace challenge and show this in all aspects of learning (Proverb 16:10). Our rich and broad curriculum nourishes our children’s spirituality and allows them to shine in their own way and as a community. Our Values ~ Our vision is underpinned by the values we live by at the Haven:

Compassion…developing individuals who are loving, kind and caring.
“Let all that you do be done in love” 1 Corinthians 16:14

Courage… overcoming challenges in our lives and learning.
“Be strong and courageous because God is with you.” Deuteronomy 31:6

Respect…considering every unique individual and the world around us.
“Love one another as I have loved you” John 13:34

Responsibility…learning to become independent, determined and persevere.
“Whatever you do work at it with all your heart.” Colossians 3:23

Hope…having Faith in Jesus’ word to guide our lives.
“For I know the plans I have for you…plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29 v11

Justice…showing acceptance and understanding to ALL.
“For the Lord is a God of justice; blessed are all those who wait for him.” Isaiah 30:18

Our School founding aim is ‘God in all we do’

The Haven was opened in 2001 as a Church of England and Methodist school, welcoming all and serving our community. Our founding aim is 'God in all we do'. This is the underpinning of the school and strong and firm foundations on which we build.

We had a great session making blackberry bark today with our seasonal blackberries. We squashed some blackberries and combined them into some yummy vegan yoghurt. We then froze the yoghurt slices and tasted them. ​ We also found a skull at forest school. The children were fascinated with the find!​ 💫
