Cutocmbe First School's Vision, Values and Ethos

At Cutcombe First School, we echo the sentiment 'Live, Love, Learn' 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, 'Though it is the smallest of all seeds, when it grows, it becomes a tree' (Matthew 13 v 32), we emphasize 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 individualized 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.

Our Vision

We aspire to be more than just a school; we aim to be a beacon of light for rural education and the wider community. Here is our vision broken down into its components:

Centre of Excellence for Early Years

We strive to be recognized as a centre of excellence for early years education, ensuring our pupils receive the very best start to their educational journey.

Comprehensive Curriculum

Our commitment to provide a comprehensive curriculum ensures that our pupils continue to make rapid progress throughout their time with us and beyond. We offer a rich and broad curriculum, making good use of the local community and landscape, truly living our 'Live, Love, Learn' motto.

Pride of our Community

We are determined to continue making our community proud by delivering high-quality education to our pupils and families.

Local, National and Worldwide Links

We aim to forge connections on a local, national, and international level to allow our pupils to develop a robust sense of identity and aspiration in our global society.

Education at the Heart of Our Community
