Church Schools and School Values
Jesus said “I have come that they may have life in all its fullness.” John 10:10
Life in all its fullness is about living a life full of rich learning, joy, curiosity, growing and developing confidence, co-operating and caring and supporting each other.
At school, we regularly reflect on what “Life in all its fullness” means to us.
School Values
Hope, Joy , Dignity, Wisdom, Peace and Community
Community, Compassion, Courage, Forgiveness, Friendship, Respect
Thankfulness, Trust, Perseverance, Justice, Service, Truthfulness
Rooted in Bible teachings, our Christian values guide and teach our whole school community how we can show these values in our everyday lives.
We express our Christian values in all we think, do, and say, whilst always respecting people of other faiths or none.
Each term we focus on one value and make links with the seasons of the church. We use Roots & Fruits and Roots and Fruits 2 which supports our 'whole school' worship, and we celebrate every week with a Christian value award.
