We are an inclusive church school where children are at the heart of everything that we do. Governors and staff are dedicated to providing high-quality teaching and learning for every child. We believe that if children are to achieve to the best of their ability they need to be learning in a safe, secure, caring and happy environment so that every child feels valued and encouraged to challenge themselves and take risks in their learning. For this reason Sedlescombe Church of England Primary School is a school where Every Child Matters.

We believe that we are stronger together and therefore togetherness underpins the vision for our school:

• Together we enjoy learning
• Together we achieve
• Together we succeed

To work together as a strong community for the benefit of everyone and to ensure that every child has the opportunity to succeed respect is our core value.

Respect for Everyone and Everything

Values

As a church school Christian Values are at the heart of the ethos of our school and our Christian values inform all that we do as a school.

These Christian values are the focus of our Collective Worship themes and are reinforced in our teaching on Understanding Christianity in Religious Education.
