Ethos and Values

Our vision and values shape every aspect of life at Great Wishford: the subjects we teach, the nurture we provide, the experiences we offer, the reflections we share, and even the games we play. All of this is rooted in our guiding vision:

“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart” – Colossians 3:23.

When you visit, you will see that we are truly a small school with a big heart. Our ethos is built upon this vision and our three core values, which are embedded in everything we do—from classroom learning to leadership decisions. These values also form the foundation of our school rules:

Love – We show Christian love to all in our community. We are tolerant and act safely.
Joy – We find joy in the everyday as well as the WOW moments in life. We come to school with enthusiasm and rejoice each other’s successes.
Determination – We never give up! We hone our skills and set ambitious goals, striving to achieve our very best.
