Our Vision
'Acorns to Mighty Oaks'
At Grayshott Primary School we are inspired daily by the nature that surrounds us, as illustrated by our acorn and oak leaf logo. The Bible uses the metaphors of people as trees, being ‘planted by the water’ and ‘bearing fruit for the healing of the nations'. Our vision is to nurture the whole child, rooting them in the Christian story and in a loving, supportive village and Church family. We aim to provide them with all they need to grow strong in moral character and concern for others and become life-long learners, in order to lead fruitful, fulfilling lives and make a positive difference in the world. “They will be called the oaks of righteousness.” Isaiah 61: v1-3
