Our School Vision
At Five Ashes School, pathways will be endless.
Children are cherished.
Children are challenged to thrive.
Our overwhelming desire is that at the end of seven years at Five Ashes school, each child should leave with a portfolio of rich and happy memories, feeling completely cherished as an individual in their own right.
Our curriculum is built on a foundation of Christian values which constantly challenges our pupils through high quality teaching and learning to become confident, independent and passionate young people.
Now we believe they can thrive…
“Don’t be afraid or discouraged, for I, the Lord your God, am with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9

As a Church of England Primary School our vision statement states that we are a school where the Christian Faith underpins our ethos. Being a values based school allows us to explore Christian based values through practical activity, collective worship and homework.
Over a three year rolling programme we will focus on one value in detail each term. The Values we will focus on are; Courage, Trust, Creativity, Justice, Forgiveness, Peace, Humility, Truth, Thankfulness, Compassion, Hope and Friendship.
Although we see these values as Christian values, we strongly feel that they are values all children need to learn about and develop in order to become productive, successful and caring members of society.
We seek to make links between our value and real events where possible in order to contextualise the children’s understanding.
Values give our school cohesiveness; we ground them in real life and enable children to understand how the value we are focussing on translates in to their lives and their actions.
At Five Ashes pathways will be endless; children are cherished and challenged to thrive.
British Values
Whilst we are a Church of England school, we are also an inclusive school and regard people of all faiths, races and cultures with respect and tolerance. We promote the spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of our pupils and challenge opinions or behaviours that are contrary to fundamental British Values.
We acknowledge that we live in a multi-faith society and celebrate the common virtue that is universally respected across all world religions. This simple moral principle underpins our school’s Christian values.

Spiritual Moral, Social and Cultural education (SMSC)
Our curriculum has been carefully planned to address and ensure coverage of the following areas:-
Spiritual Education, Moral Education, Social Education and Cultural Eduction.
Spiritual education for example:-
Pupils are encouraged to be reflective about their own beliefs, religious or otherwise, that inform their perspective on life and their interest in, and respect for, different people’s faiths, feelings and values.
Moral education for example:-
Pupils are very involved in exploring and understanding the consequences of behaviour and actions.
Social education for example:-
Pupils apply of a range of social skills in different contexts, including working and socialising with pupils from different religious, ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds.
Cultural education for example:-
Pupils are provided with an understanding and appreciation of the range of different cultures within school and further afield as an essential element of their preparation for life in modern Britain.
