Cutcombe First School's Vision, Values and Ethos

At Cutcombe First School, we echo the sentiment 'Prepare, Believe, Achieve' throughout our educational journey. This echoes our commitment to fostering a nurturing environment that promotes a broad spectrum of learning experiences, in line with our Church ethos.

Our School Ethos

With the powerful verse,

'Everything is possible for one who believes’

(Mark 9:23)

we emphasise our commitment to foster growth in every individual, no matter how small their beginning.

As a proud part of the Moorland Federation, our small school’s family ethos allows us to deliver an individualised approach to each child's learning journey. Our philosophy and approach, rooted in the foundations of kindness, compassion, and a passion for learning, ensure that we provide an enriched environment for our pupils.
