Our Christian distinctiveness is best described through our School Vison;
Our school family believes that kindness is central to building a world where everyone can flourish. We work together with our community, to nurture relationships rooted in respect, compassion and understanding. Through our inspirational curriculum we strive to build each other up to develop resilience, grow aspirations and foster a strong sense of worth. Together, we learn from each other and recognise each person's unique strengths, including everyone with love.
Jesus says: "Love one another as I love you." John 13:34
Christian Values
Our Christian values are linked to our School Vision.
Kindness
"Be kind to each other" Ephesians 4:32
Compassion
"Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience" Colossians 3
Community
"Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another" John 4:11
Respect
"A new command I give to you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another" John 13:34
Aspiration
"I can do all things through him who strengthens me" Philippians 4:13
Resilience
"Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9
Biblical Basis for our Vision and Values
Our Christian values of kindness, compassion, community, respect, aspiration and resilience are present in many aspects of our school life.
We constantly refer to our Christian values in our daily acts of collective worship and use them to promote a resilient attitude to learning and to celebrate and reflect on our expectations of behaviour.
Our values are linked to the Bible. In John 13:34 Jesus says: "Love one another as I love you", and different aspects of our Christian Values are reinforced and taught through different themes in collective worship, in RE and PSHE lessons and regular links are made with British values across the curriculum.
We celebrate children showing the school values using dojo points, star of the week nominations and Good Fridays.
Through reflection, learning and participation in school life, staff and pupils recognise that our school is not just bricks and mortar, but a place where we become role models striving to live by the values we are promoting.
