At our Schools, We are KIND:

Kind and accepting

Independent learners

Never giving up

Determined to be our personal best

Children are at the heart of what we do. Our committed and inspirational staff go the extra mile to ensure that our children thrive in a happy, safe and supportive environment. This enables them to become confident, independent learners, well-equipped to continue their learning journey when they leave us. We want our children to deepen their thinking and be continuously challenged.

If you would like to find out more about our wonderful federation, please get in touch and arrange a visit. I’d be delighted to share our fantastic schools with you.

Mr. Matthew Scott

Executive Headteacher

Our Christian Vision

Our federation is a nurturing, inclusive family that welcomes those of all faiths, or those with none. As Church of England Schools, we explicitly teach Christian Values and our vision underpins all that we do.

Our Vision and Values

At Carlton & Faceby and Bilsdale Schools we are KIND:

Kind and accepting

Independent learners

Never giving up

Determined to be our personal best

 

Under God’s guidance, we teach children the importance of kindness towards others, tolerance and mutual respect. This empowers children to have the courage to achieve their personal best.

Psalm 145:17

‘The Lord is righteous in all his ways and kind in all his works’

Luke 2:40

‘And the child grew and became strong; he was filled with wisdom…’

We uphold these values through our golden rules:

Be ready

Be respectful

Be safe
