Thrive

“I am like an olive tree, thriving in the house of God.” Psalm 52:8

When trees thrive, they have healthy, vibrant leaves, produce fruit and grow. They can withstand drought and flood. Their strong roots keep them upright during storms. Like a well rooted tree, when we thrive, we achieve our best, grow in wisdom, character, resilience and faith, and face the future with confidence.  We are able to thrive when we are nurtured in love, supported by a strong community and equipped to meet our lives’ challenges. We know we are thriving when, in response to the four elements of our school vision, we can say:

I am known
I have hope
I am motivated
I am ready

We use a THRIVE acronym to help every child to live life in all its fullness. Children understand what they need to do to earn each letter of the word and when they have achieved this, they receive a gold THRIVE badge. Earning a THRIVE badge takes hard work and determination and everyone can achieve one. These are worn with pride and celebrated each Friday in Thrive Collective Worship.
