Children, parents, staff and governors are all very proud of our school. We pride ourselves on the family feel within our school, our high expectations and the caring and nurturing environment we provide in a beautiful setting. Visits are warmly encouraged so that you can see these things for yourself. On behalf of the whole Lydiard Millicent CE Primary family, we are delighted to welcome you to our beautiful school. We feel very blessed to be the leaders of Lydiard and we have worked together for many years and we know Lydiard well.

As an academy within the Diocese of Bristol Academies Trust, Lydiard Millicent’s Christian vision and values are firmly rooted in all we do, creating a positive and inclusive atmosphere where children of all faiths and none can thrive. We are very proud of the external verification our school has received. In 2018, our Ofsted inspection judged that our school had remained ‘Good’ and our Church Inspection (SIAMS) grading in 2015 was ‘Outstanding’.

Our school vision of ‘Believe, Learn, Grow’ is at the centre of our curriculum and as children move through the school, they develop the knowledge, skills, values and behaviours they need to continue to flourish and succeed in their lives beyond Lydiard.

“Believe, Learn, Grow”

Our vision is for all children to believe in themselves and develop a love of lifelong learning as we grow together as part of God’s family.

We will believe: –

That we can fulfil our potential;

That each voice is important;

In ourselves and in each other.

Jeremiah 29:11

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

We will learn: –

Actively and creatively;

In a happy and safe environment;

To love ourselves and celebrate our uniqueness;

To become more independent and resilient.

Proverbs 22:6

Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

We will grow: –

In wisdom, love and compassion – treating others as we want to be treated;

To be curious – asking questions about the world around us;

Into active citizens contributing to our community;

Together as part of God’s family.

Colossians 2:7

Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness.

We believe in teaching skills, sharing knowledge and building special memories that children will take with them through the rest of their lives.

We believe that through inspirational teaching, determination, a lot of love and a lot of laughter, the children in our schools can achieve their greatest potential, regardless of their starting points in life.

We believe in teaching, modelling values and preparing them for life in the 21st Century and we believe that in doing so we will give them a solid foundation for their future.
