'Plant, Nurture, Flourish, Serve'

A very warm welcome to our school website, we hope that you enjoy looking through all the different pages and get a little flavour of our wonderful school.

Everything we do in school is encapsulated by our school vision: 'Plant, Nurture, Flourish, Serve' and this is something that all our children and staff members work so hard to cultivate every day. This is also encapsulated in our day-to-day work with parents/carers and the wider community, where we work in very close partnership to enable all our children to do the very best that they can, considering our twelve school values.

The Box community, children, families and staff: 'Plant, Nurture, Flourish, Serve'

The school garden is a very special and unique part of our school and is enjoyed for its beauty as well as a place to play and learn.  On their journey through the school the children are taught gardening jobs and are responsible for areas of the garden.  There are many opportunities for them to plant seeds, nurture plants and watch them flourish.  During our work on the vision the children are helped to explore how 'plant, nurture, flourish, serve' is a metaphor that can be applied to many aspects of their life.  We plant a wide range of seeds in our children in the form of knowledge, skills and new experiences; we nurture their development (providing extra support where needed) to enable all children to flourish. Children are given opportunities to serve by supporting and helping others, sharing work and expertise and by having responsibilities such as looking after a reception buddy, being a young leader or serving on a school committee such as eco-schools.
