Our Christian Ethos is based on the Parable of the Mustard Seed which tells us that a seed is a beginning.  The mustard seed is the tiniest of all the seeds, yet when it is planted it becomes the biggest of the plants in the garden; it becomes a tree.  Birds come and rest in its branches.  

“It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his garden.  It grew and became a tree, and the birds of the air perched in its branches.”   Luke 13:19  

Newlands CofE School Federation believes that all our children are growing together in God’s garden.  We work to nurture this growth, helping our children develop deep roots of Christian understanding, spirituality and guiding virtues.  We empower our children to blossom in God’s image, to do small things with great love and to know that faith the size of a mustard seed can move mountains.  

Our Core Values are:   

• Friendship   
• Kindness   
• Community   
• Perseverance  
• Thankfulness
