This means mutual trust and support. “Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth” (1 John 3:18)
This means the process of being given passion and/or ideas for a task. “I can do all things through him who strengthens me.” (Philippians 4:13)
This means being outstanding or extremely good. “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart as working for the Lord” (Colossians 3:23-24)
This connects us with each other. “We who are many, are one body in Christ” (Romans 12:5)
This means having strong moral principles e.g. honesty, decency, fairness, equality; having pure and balanced moral character.

(Philippians 4:8)

What our pupils tell us about their experience of school
Response to Covid
I enjoyed doing phonics every day with my class.
It was useful to have the pack of equipment (exercise book, pencil, pen, ruler, rubber, whiteboard, whiteboard pen) so that we could write things down. I find it easier to remember my learning when I write things.
The teachers taught us how to upload photos to Google Classroom.
I am faster at typing than writing so I liked being able to do my work on Google Classroom.
I liked that I got a Special Mention Certificate sent to my house.
I found it easier to concentrate when I was being taught on Zoom because there were less distractions.
I liked coming into school because I could ask the adults to help me straight away.
