Vision and Values

Our vision sets our our aims for our whole school – children , staff and families – so we can all thrive for life.

Our Core Christian Values, revised in 2024, form the bedrock of all we do, helping us to navigate life’s journey.

Our staff, governors, the School Council and Ethos Group were involved in developing our vision and values. We have tried to make our vision accessible and memorable, as well as inspirational and unique to our school. We aim for our vision to reflect our school’s care for the development of the whole person – physically, mentally, emotionally, intellectually, morally and spiritually – throughout life.

Core Values:

Be Kind, Be Fair, Be Brave and Be Patient are our main values underpinned with Perseverance, Integrity, Belonging and Empathy, bringing greater depth for our older children to explore. Love is at the centre of everything, for ourselves, each other and our world.

Our Vision:

Be well.

Learn well.

Live well.

Offwell!

Be well: we value our mental and physical health as the foundations of achieving our potential, through supporting and caring about our own and each other’s wellbeing.

Learn well: we are dedicated to ensuring that all our children are able to achieve to their full potential, through Quality First Teaching, a creative curriculum and good home-school support.

Live well: as a church school, we believe that we live best when we learn to live with and for each other; sharing our lives and our planet in a spirit of peace, hope, integrity and compassion. Starting with love, our children are taught to be kind, patient, brave and fair. We do this by showing empathy; teaching perseverance; developing integrity and creating a sense of belonging.

As well as choosing our core values, the children chose the symbol of a compass to help remind us that values, can guide us through life. Even when we are uncertain, or challenged, our values can point us back onto the right path.
