Trust and School Prayers

St. Paul’s children have created art representing each of our Christian Values.

The staff and pupils at St. Paul's, live out our Christian Values in all we do. All pupils have the opportunity to earn Christian Values tokens from any member of school staff or visitors to our school. During Celebration worship each Friday, the class with the most tokens is rewarded with the Christian Values school bear, Faith.
