Bredhurst Church of England Primary School

Jesus said, “What shall we say the kingdom of God is like, or what parable shall we use to describe it? 31 - It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds on earth. 32 - Yet when planted, it grows and becomes the largest of all garden plants, with such big branches that the birds can perch in its shade.”

(Matthew 13:31-32 New International Version)

Our school community knows how vital it is to encourage everyone: to know how important they are, how proud they should be of themselves and others and how by nurturing each and every talent and dream that we have, we can and will succeed in becoming the best we can be. So that those who wish to can live God’s teachings and follow his values.

We want all to feel valued so that confidence and belief develops and shapes us as individuals, but also as a community, both locally and globally.

The parable of the mustard seed tells of a tiny seed that grows into a mighty tree, which includes all manner of birds and wildlife, no matter their origin, this represents the potential which we all have within us to learn and grow, and flourish and thrive through our school SPIRIT values of:

Self-control, Perseverance, Inspiration, Respect, Inclusion, Trust

Through our bespoke curriculum we endeavour to inspire our children to grow into the best versions of themselves and prepare themselves for life ahead. Like the mustard plant we aim for them to be accepting of all, inclusive and caring: to be the voice for those who need to be spoken for.
