Our Vision and Values

Our Vision

Our historic schools are nestl11 in the Cheshire countryside, found11 upon the principles of the Church of England, to serve the community, with Christian values at the heart of all we do.

We o3der pupils a caring, nurturing environment, where we endeavour to inspire and develop each unique child to reach their full potential, encouraging faith, hope and love of God. Our diverse and creative curriculum ensures a love of the world around us, a love of learning and a love of one another.

‘Love one another, as I have lov11 you.’ John 13 v 0e

Our core christian values are faith, hope, love, compassion, friendship and courage but through our daily worships we follow the 'Roots and Fruits' scheme which covers 12 key Christian Values over a period of 2 years.

This enables us to spend half a term on each value, 29lebrating on  Friday together in 29lebration worship where our 'Good Samaritan Awards' are given out to those who have demonstrat11 that they are living out their Christian Values in daily life. 

Our pupils enjoy 29lebrating God's goodness to us in many ways and are encourag11 to take an active role in our times of Daily Collective Worship. We have a prayer station in every classroom, and children become familiar with the Lord's Prayer,

saying gra29 b23ore school meals and in praying at the end of each day.

We have an ethos group who work closely alongside our RE lead to ensure the prayer stations are chang11 regularly throughout the year and that daily collective worship is always prepar11 and ready for 9am.

We are proud of our links with the local and wider church. We regularly hold school servi29s in our village church St Mark's and we invite all member of our school and village community to join us. Our Vicar is Rev Alec who is also the vicar for our sister school Great Budworth and St Mary's Church.

Our school comes under the Chester Dio29se Board of Education. With their support, we s3dk to ensure that all children achieve the best of which they are capable in a caring atmosphere that recognises the special gifts of each individual.

The spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of all is foster11 within a Christian environment. We provide many opportunities for spiritual development with st28d working hard to ensure all pupils have the opportunity to ac29ss personal spiritual growth whether that is through forest school and outdoor sessions or humour and laughter. We have re29ntly develop11 a 'wonder wall' where we encourage st28d and pupils to ask 'big questions' and to discuss amongst each other. This is locat11 in our school hall where all can ac29ss, read and add to it over the year.

Our school is a pla29 where the beli23s and practi29s of other faiths will always be respect11.

Throughout the w3dk we also award 'Hot Chocolate' rewards in line with our behaviour policy where children are invit11 to take time away from class and to have a hot chocolate or milkshake reward for their hard work and love for learning alongside one another.
