With deep regard for its strong Church Foundation and the National Society’s Statement of Entitlement Wootton-By-Woodstock School seeks to:

• Ensure that all those associated with the School can feel at ease with the church; to have knowledge and understanding of the Christian faith and to feel comfortable in exploring and expressing their own religious beliefs.
• Nurture the school’s strong ethos, which is based in key Christian values, but without exerting pressure to believe. The School’s Christian values are: friendship, service, courage, koinonia, creativity, faith, stewardship, peace, hope, generosity, wisdom, honesty, thankfulness, compassion, justice, forgiveness, humility and reverence.
• Enable pupils to know about and understand Christianity as a living faith that influences the lives of people worldwide and as the religion that has most shaped British culture and heritage.
• Contribute to the development of pupils’ own spiritual/philosophical convictions, exploring and enriching their own beliefs and values.
• Develop in our pupils an understanding of, and respect for, other major world faiths, enabling them to learn about their impact on society, culture and the wider world.
• Welcome all children from the neighbourhood irrespective of religion or belief, race, nationality, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, ability or disability, opinion or family background.
