Our Vision:

At St Andrew's we want our children to have the brightest futures, each one nurtured individually to be a shining light with their own unique twinkle. We encourage our children to have high aspirations and to always try their best, knowing that they are at the centre of everything we do. We teach one another to have respect, to achieve and to have fun. We help our children to understand that with trust, compassion, friendship and forgiveness they can shine. Our vision draws inspiration from Philippians 2:15-16 (NCV) "Then you will shine like stars in the dark world." This vision is based on all members of the school community showing God's light to others through our character, our conduct, our actions and our words.

"Shine like stars." Philippians 2:15
