Welcome,

Whitwick St John the Baptist CE Primary School is a brilliant place to teach and learn.

Our whole school vision is 'Grow, Achieve, Bloom, Repeat'. It is based on the Parable of the Sower from Matthew 13 1-23. This vision underpins everything that we do and drives us to provide a curriculum that is exciting and varied for all of our children and ensures that school is a place where children grow, achieve and bloom, from our Penguin Pre-School to Year 6. Our 'Root; Christian Values form the basis of our ethos which is one of trust, friendship and mutual respect.

The children are a credit to our school and often receive positive comments about their excellent behaviour and exemplary manners from visitors and when out on visits.

We understand that children gain the most from their education when school and families work in partnership. We warmly invite parents, grandparents and other family members into school on a regular basis.

We work very closely with several local schools and are part of 'The Collaborative Partnership Charitable Trust'. This means that our children have opportunities to meet other children from different schools and take part in many sporting events, both competitive and non-competitive.

The children, staff, governors and parents are very proud of our school and welcome visitors to have a look at the school. If you have any questions or would like to tour the school, please contact the office who will be happy to help.

Headteacher

Our Vision and Values

‘Grow, Achieve, Bloom, Repeat...’

'...Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop—a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.' Matthew 13 1-23

Our whole school vision is 'Grow, Achieve, Bloom, Repeat...' which is based on the Parable of the Sower from Matthew 13 1-23.

Through our provision and living our ‘Root’ Christian Values of Tolerance, Respect, Honesty, Love, Kindness and Trust, we represent the good soil, water, sun and space that our seeds (our children) need to grow, achieve and bloom not just once but as often as possible.

Our Aims

To support the school’s vision, we have four aims that enable us to make our vision a reality.

Grow: to provide a school community built on the foundations of our 'Christian Values', within which the children feel safe, welcome, included, challenged and nurtured and where they can grow personally, academically, socially and spiritually.

Achieve: to provide a relevant, creative and exciting curriculum where all learners achieve their full potential within our Christian community and are prepared for their future.

Bloom: to ensure that success and difference is celebrated.

Repeat: to ensure that children become lifelong learners and responsible citizens, with the understanding that effort leads to improvement and ultimately the feeling of success.
