GREENFIELD CofE SCHOOL IS A CHURCH SCHOOL
Our Christian ethos: nurture, inspire, flourish; underpinned by Jesus' mustard seed parable - the smallest of seeds when planted becomes the greatest of trees (Mt13v31-32).
At Greenfield CofE School, we believe that small beginnings can have great outcomes. The Kingdom of God began with Jesus and a small group of disciples, but grew in unexpected ways through inspiration, just as when you join our school, you join a community where spiritual growth is gradual. We enable everybody to develop over time through steady growth, providing a safe place for shelter, welcoming many people. We provide a safe space to grow together in patience and trust. Just as a seed doesn't become a mature plant overnight, faith and God's work in a person's life develops over time through steady growth, enabling us all to grow into something immense and therefore flourish. Therefore, our intention is to Nurture, Inspire and Flourish as a community.
As a church school, we have a close partnership with our local village church and the St Albans Diocese. We are proud of our church foundation and it is this which defines our ethos and makes our school distinctive. The cornerstone of all our work is our 'Values' based education which is embraced by the whole school community and encourages every child to develop into a caring, responsible, hardworking and positive person.
To allow our children time to reflect we have developed an area of peace and calm. Children may go there during play and lunchtimes. They often write prayers, read stories or snuggle down to take a moment of quiet in our busy world.
We enjoy visiting our parish churches. St James’ is the church in the village of Pulloxhill and St John the Baptist is located in Flitton. The children can often be seen walking to the church for services, art opportunities and to investigate local study projects. Both Parochial Church Councils welcome us into the churches and we continue to look for new and exciting ways of becoming involved.
