Our school motto is 'Love, Learn, Fly' and our underpinning verse is 'Do Everything in Love' which is found in 1 Corinthians 16:14.

This is taken from the letter the Apostle Paul wrote to the church in Corinth where he gave instructions for living God's way. In the last few lines of his letter, Paul reminds us that all our actions, however big or small should be an expression of our love for others

LOVE

Through our value of love, we encourage our children to love one another as God loves us. By practising forgiveness and reconciliation, we enable all to live well together and to flourish.

'A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.' John 13:34

WISDOM

The Bible talks of wisdom as a gift from God. We teach our children that wisdom is not just about how intelligent someone is; it is about knowing right from wrong, remembering past experiences and learning from them, making the right choices, even in challenging situations and being prepared to listen to the advice of others.

'If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.' James 1:5

HOPE

Hope is revealed through the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. This inspires us as we equip our children with the skills, passion and resilience, to achieve goals, giving them confidence as they 'fly' from Cranborne First School and journey through life. 

'And so, Lord, where do I put my hope? My hope is in you.' Psalm 39:7
