Ethos & Values

Our Christian Ethos

At Poppy Hill Church Of England Multi Academy Trust, our ethos is founded on Christian principles that guide everything we do. We are committed to providing excellent educational provision within a caring and supportive environment for all children, regardless of their background or faith.

We believe that every child is a unique and valued individual, and we strive to ensure they all have the opportunity to achieve educational excellence through high-quality schooling. Our mission is centered on nurturing the academic, social, spiritual, and emotional development of every student, fostering a sense of community, respect, and belonging.

Our Core Values

Our Trust is built upon shared values that are firmly embedded across all our academies. These values form the bedrock of our community and are embraced by our leaders, teachers, staff, parents, and children alike. We express these values through our commitment to ‘Living Our Values Every Day’ as we champion:

• Honesty: Acting with integrity, truthfulness, and fairness in all our dealings.

• Enthusiasm: Approaching learning and life with energy, passion, and a positive outlook.

• Nurture: Creating a supportive and protective environment where every child feels safe, valued, and can flourish.

• Love: Showing compassion, kindness, and deep respect for God, life, learning, and one another.

• Originality: Encouraging creativity, independent thinking, and celebrating the unique talents of every person.

• Wisdom: Seeking knowledge, exercising good judgment, and applying what is learned to make positive choices.

Through these values, we inspire in our community a profound Love of God, Love of life, Love of learning, and Love of each other.
