Life As a Church School

At Berkley First School, our Christian vision – “Let Your Light Shine” – is at the heart of everything we do.

We are a small school, with big ideas, adopting a creative approach to ensure that every child is supported in order to flourish and thrive; to see and develop their true potential

As a proud Church of England school, we nurture each child’s unique potential within a caring, inclusive, and spiritually rich environment. Our values of compassion, respect, perseverance and hope guide our daily lives, encouraging children to flourish not only academically but personally and morally too. In our most recent SIAMS inspector(2024), we were delighted to be recognised for

 the strong sense of community, the way our Christian vision shapes school life, and the meaningful opportunities we provide for children to reflect, ask big questions, and grow in character and faith.

We aim to inspire our pupils to make a positive difference in the world – starting with kindness, understanding, and service to others.
