About UsOur Values
At Jolesfield, our approach to learning is firmly built upon our school values which are underpinned by the Christian values: enabling every child to grow spiritually and emotionally; fostering imagination and a deep sense of personal identity and self-worth; providing guidance through the loving example of Jesus Christ. We are committed to not only developing learners but raising principled citizens to flourish in our community. Our children memorise these values and they are an intrinsic part of our daily life.
