Every Day is a New Day

This is the day that The Lord has made;  let us rejoice and be glad in it.

Psalm 118:24

Sherborne Abbey CE Primary School is a warm and nurturing environment where learners are cared for and inspired to be their best, every day of their lives.

“Staff apply the school’s Christian Values of kindness and respect when learning about different cultures. Pupils’ comments included: ‘what matters most is on the inside’.”

OFSTED report November 2021

“Pupils learn to respect different lifestyles, cultures and faiths. They are confident about challenging racism and discrimination. The school helps pupil’s become well rounded and caring individuals.” 

OFSTED report November 2021

“Parents say that staff had a personal touch and provide a calm and nurturing atmosphere that enables children to succeed.”

OFSTED report November 2021

“Pupils are valued and feel special at this school. The Christian Values of cooperation, good behaviour, tolerance, caring for one another and respect for the environment have an excellent impact on personal development. This enables learners to really flourish as individuals.” 

SIAMS report 2024.

Collective Worship

At Sherborne Abbey we meet together as a whole school community at least three times a week, and in smaller groups for the other days. We feel that coming together for Collective worship helps us maintain the unique heartbeat of our Church school and through Collective Worship we offer a wider opportunity for pupils and adults to encounter faith that is Inclusive, Invitational and Inspiring.

As a school that is proud to have children from many faiths backgrounds we also ensure our Collective Worship is a place to draw our school community together to give thanks and reflect.

Each half term our Collect Worship focuses on key Christian values. Please note that our School Council have recently collaborated on a refresh of our school values as they wanted to have a mnemonic that was memorable for all.

Details of how THIS is the day, will be used will be shared soon . . .
