Welcome From The Headteacher

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.

Our Vision and Values

“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.

Our daily life at Lydiard Millicent CE Primary and Ridgeway Farm CE Academy is underpinned by 12 Christian values. These are taught and modelled by all members of the school community:

  • Generosity
  • Compassion
  • Courage
  • Forgiveness
  • Service
  • Respect
  • Thankfulness
  • Trust
  • Perseverance
  • Justice
  • Friendship
  • Truthfulness

About Diocese of Bristol Academies Trust

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

DBAT families of schools work together on teaching, learning and administrative work, ensuring that collaboration results in improved outcomes in all areas.

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.
