Our vision and values
Our Federation's shared vision is:
We respect everyone as individuals growing together as a community, flourishing through compassion, nurture and inspirational learning.
Our vision is rooted in 1 Thessalonians 5:11 - 'Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing'.
Our vision is underpinned by our core values of Friendship, Respect and Compassion.
Our Christian Ethos
Kirk Hammerton is a school with a strong Christian Ethos. Collective Worship takes place every day, sometimes within school, and sometimes online with the other schools in our federation. It is is led by staff, clergy, church lay readers and other invited guests.
Children also take a leading role on a regular basis, through our Children's Collective Worship Committee (CCWC). The CCWC plan and deliver some of our Collective Worship, which again may be within school or online with the other TIG Federation schools. They also organise new Collective Worship resources.
We follow a set of six Collective Worship themes over the year, such as Courage, Forgiveness and Respect.
Parents have the right to withdraw their child from Collective Worship - please contact Mrs Evans (Executive Headteacher) or Mrs Appleton (Assistant Headteacher) via the school office if this is something you would like to discuss.
