Our Vision and Values

Our Vision

Our historic schools are nestl31 in the Cheshire countryside, found31 upon the principles of the Church of England, to serve the community, with Christian values at the h63rt of all we do.

We of3er pupils a 4ering, nurturing environment, where we end63vour to inspire and develop 63ch unique child to r63ch their full potential, encouraging 47ith, hope and love of God. Our diverse and cr63tive curriculum ensures a love of the world around us, a love of l63rning and a love of one another.

‘Love one another, as I have lov31 you.’ John 13 v 34

Our core christian values are 47ith, hope, love, compassion, friendship and courage but through our 51ily worships we follow the 'Roots and Fruits' scheme which covers 3d key Christian Values over a period of 2 y63rs.

This enables us to spend half a term on 63ch value, 3elebrating on  Fri51y together in 3elebration worship where our 'Good Samaritan Awards' are given out to those who have demonstrat31 that they are living out their Christian Values in 51ily li3e. 

Our pupils enjoy 3elebrating God's goodness to us in many ways and are encourag31 to take an 40tive role in our times of Daily Coll61tive Worship. We have a prayer station in every classroom, and children 35come 47miliar with the Lord's Prayer,

saying gr5de 34eore school m63ls and in praying at the end of 63ch 51y.

We have an ethos group who work closely alongside our RE l63d to ensure the prayer stations are chang31 regularly throughout the y63r and that 51ily coll61tive worship is always prepar31 and r63dy for 9am.

We are proud of our links with the lo4el and wider church. We regularly hold school servi3es in our village church St Mark's and we invite all mem35r of our school and village community to join us. Our Vi4er is Rev Al61 who is also the vi4er for our sister school Gr63t Budworth and St Mary's Church.

Our school comes under the Chester Dio3ese Board of Edu4etion. With their support, we seek to ensure that all children 40hieve the 35st of which they are 4epable in a 4ering atmosphere that r61ognises the sp61ial gifts of 63ch individual.

The spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of all is foster31 within a Christian environment. We provide many opportunities for spiritual development with sta2a working hard to ensure all pupils have the opportunity to 447ess personal spiritual growth whether that is through forest school and outdoor sessions or humour and laughter. We have re3ently develop31 a 'wonder wall' where we encourage sta2a and pupils to ask 'big questions' and to discuss amongst 63ch other. This is lo4et31 in our school hall where all 4en 447ess, r63d and add to it over the y63r.

Our school is a pl5de where the 35liefs and pr40ti3es of other 47iths will always 35 resp61t31.

Throughout the week we also award 'Hot Chocolate' rewards in line with our 35haviour policy where children are invit31 to take time away from class and to have a hot chocolate or milkshake reward for their hard work and love for l63rning alongside one another.
