As a school we aim to be a place where our children can grow and be nurtured to be the best they can be – to be ‘like trees that grow beside a stream, that bear fruit at the right time, and whose leaves do not dry up. They succeed in everything they do.” (Psalm 1:3).

This nurture and growth is inspired by the Church England Vision, which reminds us:

“The ultimate worth of each person is grounded in being created in the image of God and in God’s love and compassion for each.”

We therefore base our education on respect for the child and the formation of respect between one another. This includes a wholehearted commitment to  diversity and equality, offering an inclusive education.

In school this involves encouraging children to treat one another as they would wish to be respected, following the teaching of Jesus to: “Do to others whatever you would have them do to you” (Matthew 7:12).

Treeton school embodies the example of Jesus, and “Jesus embodies the love and compassion of God for each person, and Christians are called to follow him in this, and to join with others in demonstrating it. He paid special attention to the disadvantaged, excluded, despised and feared. The ultimate worth of each person is shown in the Gospels through his teaching, healing, feeding, sharing hospitality, befriending, and forgiving.”
