This School has a Christian foundation and our vision and values are based on this. We seek to achieve academic excellence and provide the good conditions described by Jesus Christ in the parable of the sower where each child can grow and thrive. We aim to see each child grow in character, confidence and understanding, grow in appreciation of who they are and acquire the skills needed to succeed in a changing world.
Working together, the parents, carers, children, Staff and Governors have created an exceptional vision and set of values which uniquely suits the needs of the children in the Arborfield Community. This vision for the school permeates all that we do and can be found here - Spirituality Statement for the current year

To create a language rich environment which encourages the effective use of both the written and spoken word.
To embed strong Christian vision and values which underpin the personal development of our children.
