In God's eyes, we believe, succeed, and aspiration! is our school's motto. We urge our school community to be thoughtful, resilient, and reflective people in God's image so that everyone will be content and feel protected, loved, and supported. Our goal is to ensure that everyone realises their full potential through aspirational opportunities and a nurturing, Christian learning environment in a world that is always changing. The Christian principles of joy, forgiveness, hope, love, and resilience inspire us to have faith in ourselves and to grow tolerant of others. (Joseph's tale) We eagerly anticipate new learning opportunities each day thanks to our dynamic and interesting curriculum. Because of the encouraging learning atmosphere, we perform well. We will have aspirations for our futures by becoming independent and confident individuals; prepared for the future, with a belief that we can be whoever we want to be. Each child is nurtured in a loving, safe atmosphere at St. Laurence, where an education that is both interesting and dynamic is underpinned by Christian values. Being a Christian institution, we urge students to be thoughtful, self-aware people who are willing to venture outside of their comfort zone and seize every opportunity. We are a supportive and caring school that provides assistance to students, families, and staff. Strong ties exist between the St. Laurence school community and the nearby church and neighbourhood. Students are well-aware of British values and what it means to make a constructive contribution to society. Children leave our school eager about the future and prepared for the next level of their education.
