Our Vision

To make high quality primary education available to as many children as possible

This means

• outstanding teaching of literacy and numeracy
• high expectations for each child's overall educational development
• instilling habits of effective learning and good behaviour at an early age
• academic standards that prepare pupils to perform to the best of their ability in public examination
• not-for-profit status and tight cost management to re-invest surpluses and to keep fees as low as possible thereby providing a demonstrable and replicable model for running  schools

Our Values

Our community

We aim to create an environment that is both nurturing and inspiring. Our values derive from a broadly Christian ethos, with obligations of courtesy, helpfulness and openness.

Our work

Everything we do is about excellence in education.  Starting with strong foundations in literacy and numeracy, we aim to instil a love of learning in children through an inspiring curriculum covering the traditional subject areas.

Our goals 

To ensure that pupils acquire the skills, knowledge and habits of mind that will allow them to fulfil their potential, to know the difference between right and wrong, and so grow towards maturity and self-confidence.

We are committed to providing value for money with a rigorous approach to efficient cost management. 

Christian Ethos

NMS schools are broadly Christian. We accept children from all faiths or none. Our pupils are expected to take part fully in all aspects of school life. This includes:

• Assemblies with religious content
• Harvest Festival celebrations
• Carol concerts
• Nativity plays
• R.E. lessons

In some NMS schools, children take part in church services and local clergy lead assemblies on a regular basis.

Our younger children are taught right and wrong through our PSHCE and pastoral care programmes. As they progress up the school, children will learn about the major world religions and study them in greater detail.
