ASPIRE BELIEVE CELEBRATE

At St. Andrew’s School we develop aspiration, strength and self-belief by supporting each other and living our values.

Don’t be afraid, I have called you by name, you are mine. I have marked your name on the palms of my hands.

(Isaiah 43:1 and 49:16)

The parable of the lost sheep tells us that God is like the Good Shepherd and he loves and cares for every single one of us.

Worship in School

We believe a daily act of collective worship is an integral and essential part of St Andrew's whole school ethos and curriculum which is central to the life of the school. It provides a focus for the school community and helps to reflect the tone and ethos of the school.

Here are the details of Collective Worship in school.
