School Mission

Being a member of Kirby Hill C of E School means being kind hearted, happy and successful.

Our school is a Christian foundation and we aim to reflect that in its life.

We welcome all children from our communities and we attach high priority to strong links between school, home and churches. Foundations Governors and local Christians are actively involved in the life of our school.

Our aim is that the children attending our school shall be responsible, thoughtful, self-disciplined and capable of achieving their maximum potential.

To help our children to achieve this, our school will provide quality education within a happy disciplined caring environment, in partnership with parents.

Collective Worship is a focal point in the daily life of our school and we seek to provide opportunities for the spiritual development of both staff and children.

The aims of our school curriculum are:

1. To help children to develop lively enquiring minds, the confidence to question, and the ability to debate rationally.
   
   
2. To promote a positive attitude towards learning, so that children enjoy coming to school helping them to receive challenging, stimulating, worthwhile and enjoyable experiences which will lead them into a love of life long learning.
   
   
3. To teach children the basic skills of literacy, numeracy and information technology (IT).
   
   
4. To help children gain understanding of and respect for religious and moral values and appreciation and tolerance of other groups, races, religions and ways of life and points of view.
