We serve two small villages: Feckenham and Bradley Green, however we also have pupils from other, larger areas of Redditch.

The large majority of our pupils come from White British backgrounds and our deprivation levels are well below the national average.

Recently we converted to an academy and joined the Shires Multi Academy Trust with Webheath Academy Primary and Studley High School.

The Parable of the Mustard Seed 

“Again he said, “What shall we say the kingdom of God is like, or what parable shall we use to describe it? It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds on earth. Yet when planted, it grows and becomes the largest of all garden plants, with such big branches that the birds can perch in its shade.”

Mark 4:30-32 

This is the parable on which our distinctive Christian Vision is based. 

It is mentioned in Matthew and Luke also. 

There are various interpretations of this parable that Jesus told when asked ‘What is the Kingdom of God’, when he spoke about it to crowds who gathered to listen to him speak. 

Feckenham’s interpretation of this links to our 4 overarching values of: 

• Wisdom

• Community

• Hope

• Dignity

As a summary, the mustard seed represents the core of our values at Feckenham, what we want for all of our children, staff, governors and families to know, appreciate and uphold because they make a positive difference while here but also in the future. 

The roots from which the seed establishes itself and grows well are ‘fed’ by love. Love of each other as people and through the knowledge that God loves us all regardless of our shortcomings. 

The trunk of the tree is an embodiment of the school as a place to learn (why are we here?) so incorporates: Knowledge, friendship and forgiveness. 

The branches represent the consistent welcome to our school as a safe and inclusive place where we aim to emulate God’s love and grace for everyone. 

Birds represent the four core Christian values that bring us closer to God. 

Owl- Wisdom

Kingfisher- Community

Dove- Hope

Sparrow- Dignity

These 4 values will be a common thread running through our work in class and also in upholding the ethos of our school.

Welcome to Feckenham Church of England School, a small, rural, inclusive school in Redditch, Worcestershire. We serve two small villages: Feckenham and Bradley Green, however we have many pupils from other, larger areas of Redditch and beyond. As well as having the fortune of beautiful surroundings we also have a wonderful Forest School site used by all our pupils all year round. 

Although we uphold many traditions as a school that was established in the Victorian era, we are a forward thinking school with staff that value professional collaboration to give every child their best chance of ‘living life in all its fullness’. 

Recently we converted to an academy and joined the Shires Multi Academy Trust with Webheath Primary and Studley High School. We believe that all our pupils, staff and families are loved by God and as such are of intrinsic value. Our mission is to help everyone in our school flourish personally and academically; fulfilling their potential through the guiding principles of wisdom, hope, community and dignity.
