Vision & Values in Testimonials
.... I feel more rooted in love because of the love that's been given and the commitment the children gave everyday has been amazing! Every blessing to you,
Having now worked in more than 150 primary schools, I can honestly say that Dawpool C of E Primary School stands among the finest examples of Christian flourishing I have experienced. What has made these five weeks especially memorable is not simply what has been achieved, but the way your deeply embedded Christian vision has shaped, enriched and sustained every part of the journey...
...What has impressed me most, however, is your deeply embedded Christian vision. Using the Fruit of the Spirit as your nine values is something I rarely encounter, and I believe it works beautifully. Rather than values simply being displayed around the school, they are clearly becoming part of the language and daily life of your community.
