Home School Agreement
Brierley CE (VC) Primary School
At Brierley CE Primary School we aim to build a strong partnership between staff, parents and carers with the shared vision to help children achieve and enjoy learning. Our commitment is to the continuity and progression of your child’s education through an inclusive ethos where all children will be challenged in their thinking to achieve to the best of their abilities, raising their self-esteem and fulfilling their true potential socially, academically and spiritually.
Our Vision
Though we are many, we are one body.
Together, we learn and grow.
God is at the heart of all we do, shining His light to guide us on our journey.
Together, we face change and transformation with courage.
In love, we nurture all to be resilient, hopeful and aspirational; to become the very best version of ourselves, knowing that we are loved.
Each member of our school community is honoured and celebrated for our unique character and qualities: difference is met with dignity and compassion.
Though we are many, we are one body.
Our community at Brierley stretches beyond the school, where we share God’s message of love through our actions, our thoughts and our words as we continue on life’s path.
