This Vision Statement is subscribed to by our Governors, staff, pupils and parents, and drives our school improvement. Independence, communication, and creativity are the three Core Learning Values that we have established. These serve as the foundation for our planning and routine classroom activities, along with our Christian beliefs. We are an Anglican church school and we fall within the Diocese of Chichester and the Parish of West Wittering Church of St Peter and St Paul. Visit Chichester Harbour Churches' webpage by clicking. At our small village school, we pride ourselves on our warm and welcoming atmosphere. There is a strong sense of family, where older children take time and care with younger pupils. Through skills development, we aim to prepare all our pupils for a future which will be very different to that experienced by their parents and grandparents. A positive approach and an outward-looking curriculum enrich the learning experiences of everyone in our school community.
