From the Coombe Bissett Church of England Primary School
Biblical teachings serve as the foundation for our three main values of care, commitment, and creativity. We also investigate and refine our comprehension of a Christian value. Through our Collective Worship, we begin the trip that we take throughout the term and present the value. At our Celebration Worship on Fridays, I am always thrilled to share part of our learning with parents, but I understand that not everyone can make it. The Home School Value Sheets for each term are available here so that all families can learn about the value together.
