Welcome From The Headteacher

Christian Malford Church of England Primary School is a small rural school with about 85 children in the Wiltshire village of Christian Malford.

Our motto says, “Challenge, Motivate and Succeed” and everything we do is focused on providing the children with the challenge and motivation to succeed. Please read our Aims and Philosophy statement to find out more.

We have an open door policy for parents so that we constantly communicate with them to ensure that their children are happy and getting the most from the opportunities we offer.

From the start, our pupils are encouraged to reach their full potential.

Christian Malford CofE Primary School is part of the Church of England family of schools. We believe it is important to promote core Christian values by which to live and which to help to develop a moral and spiritual awareness.

Our Local Board and Diocese of Bristol Academies Trust are supportive and skilled and work closely with me to continue to grow our school. Our Friends of School provide vital help with fundraising and social events. Together we form a strong team for our pupils through these important first years of their education.

Our Values

At Christian Malford CofE Primary School, we believe it is important to promote core Christian values by which to live and which help to develop a moral and spiritual awareness. There are many Christian values, but the ones we have specifically chosen for our school are:

  • Diligence
  • Kindness
  • Tolerance
  • Honesty
  • Respect

These values are intrinsically linked to our school rules and British Values and it is these School values that we want our pupils to explore and develop during their time at Christian Malford. Whilst these values are inclusive of human values, we anchor them into the Christian faith by relating them to the Bible through stories and readings during our acts of worship. They are also woven into our teaching and learning in order to develop improved social and emotional skills that positively affect behaviour and self-esteem.

About Diocese of Bristol Academies Trust

DBAT was founded in 2012, enabling the Diocese of Bristol’s Board of Education to sponsor academies.

The management of its affairs are overseen by its Board of Directors which operates a flexible Scheme of Delegation. This is based on the principle of detailed monitoring against and evaluation of Ofsted and Diocesan Distinctiveness criteria of all academies in the MAT and increasing ‘earned autonomy’ once academies demonstrate they are ‘good’ or better.

Mission Statement

DBAT’s core purposes are to:

• focus on improving the educational experiences, employment prospects and life chances of young people, especially those from disadvantaged socio-economic backgrounds;
• demonstrate that children’s life-chances are improved when their formal education is within the context of an Academy that is founded in the Christian tradition, establishes an ethos that is distinctively Christian and embraces the very best practices in teaching, learning, leadership, management and safety;
• accelerate students’ levels of attainment and achievement, and raises student, teacher and parental aspirations and ambitions;
• help to create more cohesive communities enhancing opportunities for social mobility by striving to eliminate the attainment gap between students from disadvantaged backgrounds and young people who by circumstances of birth and inheritance take for granted their automatic right to a good education;
• transform the overall performance of underperforming schools in deprived areas, helping to improve and innovate in all aspects of teaching, learning and leadership and promoting the development of future leaders.

Vision

Diocese of Bristol Academies Trust (DBAT) aspires to transform the educational landscape of the Diocese, working with all Church academies (including educationally under-performing academies in disadvantaged socio-economic areas) to accelerate student attainment and contribute to community cohesion, so transforming academy performance and students’ life chances through excellent leadership.

Values

DBAT adopts the Diocesan values for schools which is that families of schools collectively meet all students’ needs and are based on the fundamental belief that all students can achieve, succeed and thrive. We own that it is our job to ensure this happens so that:
• Families protect all their member schools
• Families of schools meet the needs of all employees
• Families facilitate knowledge transfer
• Families distribute innovation
• Families save time and money
• Families ensure that all students can achieve, succeed and thrive
• Families deal effectively with special educational needs
• Families support new and existing leaders
• Families embed the capacity to improve/manage change
• Families build leadership capacity and succession
• Families aid the integration of Children’s services

In all Families there will be stronger and weaker partners but all are valued.
