Our Vision
As God’s children, we all play our part in making learning irresistible within our Federation communities. We all learn through the Christian values that are at the heart of our schools and strive to be the best we can be, knowing that, “What we will be has not yet been made known.” (1 John 3.2)
Christian values are at the heart of our journey together as the Pilgrim Federation
Love and compassion for others; kindness tolerance and respect are the cornerstone of our learning community
Staff, parents, governors, children and the local community all play their part in our learning and achieving excellence in everything that we do
We believe that learning should be creative, innovative, inspirational and irresistible.

The Pilgrim Federation Prayer
A prayer for the formation of the Pilgrim Federation of Church of England Schools written by
The Right Reverend Graham James, Lord Bishop of Norwich.
God of truth and love,
we pray that you will bless our schools
where we come to learn about your world.
Help us to grow together as your children.
Give us faith when things are difficult,

and joy when we do well.
Amen.
