Brabins Endowed School

“Love one another as I have loved you.”

John 15:12

At Brabin’s we are more than friends – we love and value one another as part of God’s family. We respect each other and strive to achieve our best when we are learning and in all we do.

The Ethos of this voluntary controlled school is:

Recognising its historic foundation in 1684, the school will preserve and develop its religious character and association with the Church of England, which has continued since its foundation, and will work in partnership with the Churches in the community.

The school aims to serve its community by providing an education of the highest quality within the context of Christian belief and practice. It encourages an understanding of the meaning and significance of faith, and promotes Christian values through the experience it offers all its pupils.

As a school with religious character, Brabin’s Endowed strives for the teaching and learning of religion to be meaningful, creative, well managed and enjoyable. Our most recent outstanding Ofsted report stated that, “pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural developing is well provided for.” Furthermore, the school holds a good reputation within the local community which is celebrated but not taken for granted.

Collective Worship:

Collective worship is central to school life and our community. Worship is rooted in our Christian vision, “Love one another as I have loved you” (John 15:12), and follows the Church calendar and Christian values. A range of approaches including Bible teaching, music, prayer, reflection, discussion and creative stimuli ensure worship is invitational, inclusive and inspiring for all pupils.

Pupils actively engage in worship through reflection, prayer and responding to a daily call to action. Worship strengthens pupils’ understanding of Christian beliefs and values while promoting spiritual development, compassion and service. Strong links with St Bartholomew’s Church and the wider church community enrich worship experiences and support pupils’ understanding of Anglican tradition.

All pupils have opportunities to lead collective worship throughout their time at school, developing confidence and spiritual understanding. Parents are welcomed into worship and celebration events, helping to strengthen the strong sense of Christian community that is evident across the school.

Worship is lead and co-ordinated by Mrs R Wallace (Headteacher) and Miss A Hamer (Assistant Headteacher).
