A NURTURING COMMUNITY
St Paul with St Luke is a small Church of England Primary School grounded in family values. Our learning culture is inspired by a profound sense of love as taught by Jesus Christ. We foster compassion, understanding and kindness.
We are very fortunate in being one of a few remaining one-form entry schools. Our relatively small size allows us to create an environment where each child feels known and included, and where parents are involved daily in the life of the school. We welcome all into our nurturing community.

ROOTED IN THE CHURCH
Jesus said: ‘Love one another as I have loved you’. John 15:12
In our nurturing community, love forms the foundational ground on which our co-humanity is built. We cultivate a learning culture where a profound sense of love, exemplified in the teaching of Jesus Christ, fosters compassion, understanding, kindness and service in the promotion of the common good.
The Church of England has deep roots in the local community, and provides a wealth of experience to support the education and care that we provide to our pupils, staff, parents and families.
"A beacon of hope serving the community." SIAMS 2023

FOREST SCHOOL
Forest School is an inspirational learning process that allows children to develop confidence and skills in a natural setting. It supports play, exploration and supported risk taking.
We have created an environment in our outdoor areas in which our children develop a life-long relationship with the natural world. Implemented by trained practitioners, our children get the full Forest School experience within their own school.
