VISION, VALUES AND AIMS

Vision Statement

Our Vision is to inspire a love of learning and discover how to make a difference in our world.

Our Christian Values

Based upon Christian values, we strive to:

Inspire curiosity awe and wonder

“…O Lord, how manifold are your works! In wisdom you have made them all; the earth is full of your creatures…” (Psalm 104:26)

Nurture our talents, interests and individuality

“We have gifts that differ in accordance with the grace that has been given to us, and we must use them appropriately.”(Romans 12:6)

Celebrate all achievements, large and small

“In all the work you are doing, work the best you can.Work as if you were doing for the Lord, not for people.” (Colossians 3:23)

Dream bigger dreams

“Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right,, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable…if anything is excellent or praiseworthy, think about such things…put into practice.And the God of peace will be with you”. (Philippians 4:8&9)

Aims

• We aim to be a kind, caring community built on Christian values of love and respect.
• To be a school where everyone matters
• Where we all have a clear sense of belonging
• Where individuality is celebrated
• Where everyone is proud of themselves and proud of the school.

Our Church

Our links to the parish church of St Peter's and St Paul's are very strong.  The children attend services regularly at the church at Easter, Christmas for the Carol Service, Candlemas in February an Easter celebration and the End of Year Service.  The older children also attend a special Eucharist Service, usually in June.

The school welcomes many visitors including Canon Rachel who conduct Collective Worship on a weekly basis; Foundation Governors also visit to see the work of the school.

5Rs for Lifelong Learning

We aim for our learners to be able to show and live these values in everything they do.

Readiness – this shows in your motivation, curiosity, the belief that you can achieve and that you deserve to be successful

Reflectiveness – this shows in looking back, improving your learning and performance, and practising

Responsibility – this shows in your self-awareness in learning, taking ownership of your learning, and being able to learn alongside others

Resilience – this shows in keeping going, learning under stress, and managing your feelings about learning and the people you are learning with

Resourcefulness – characterised by learning with and from others, learning creatively in different ways, being flexible, applying what you have learned
