Ethos Committee

At our school we have a key group of children who work with staff to ensure that the pupil’s voices are embraced. Our Ethos Committee meet regularly with Mrs Bolton and often with Susanna Metz and Reverend Martin Warren from the local church community. As a group the Ethos Committee strive to put forward ideas, help plan fundraising events, plan and deliver Collective Worship sessions with the whole school, write prayers and support the planning of special services throughout the year such as Harvest, Christmas and Easter. Another key role of the group is to regularly evaluate our school’s
Christian distinctiveness, the children have conducted learning walks, evlauated reflection areas and reflection journals and fed back their ideas and ways forward. The group have also conducted questionnaires with the whole school to find out our pupil’s views on the delivery of Collective Worship. The Ethos Committee took great pride in helping Mrs Bolton create a new school song which encompasses our school vision and values. We all love singing our song and have performed it at different celebrations throughout the year.
