Our Church School and Community

Our school vision:

Believe and Achieve

'Jesus said, 'If we believe, all things are possible' Mark 23 verse 9

Our school vision is linked to Mark 9:23 in the Bible, where Jesus stated “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”

We believe that if children have firm foundations based on Christian values, faith and belief, then they can achieve anything! 'Believe and Achieve' is on our school badge, and our children know that the sky is the limit with belief in God and the teachings of Jesus, allowing them to develop self-belief and achieving well.

Our school vision is at the heart of all we do at John Cross CE Primary School, and this is evident and lived-out in the school community each day.
