Our Vision and Values

Our Vision

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

We o2cer pupils a caring, nurturing environment, where we endeavour to inspire and develop e54h unique child to re54h their full potential, encouraging 3cith, 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 loved you.’ John 13 v 34

Our core christian values are 3cith, 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 en62les us to spend half a term on e54h value, celebrating on  Friday together in celebration worship where our 'Good Samaritan Awards' are given out to those who have demonstrated that they are living out their Christian Values in daily life. 

Our pupils enjoy celebrating God's goodness to us in many ways and are encouraged to take an 54tive role in our times of Daily Coll2ctive Worship. We have a prayer station in every classroom, and children 34come 3cmiliar with the Lord's Prayer,

saying gr54e 34fore school meals and in praying at the end of e54h day.

We have an ethos group who work closely alongside our RE lead to ensure the prayer stations are changed regularly throughout the year and that daily coll2ctive worship is always prepared and ready for 9am.

We are proud of our links with the local and wider church. We regularly hold school services in our village church St Mark's and we invite all mem34r of our school and village community to join us. Our Vicar is Rev Al2c who is also the vicar for our sister school Great Budworth and St Mary's Church.

Our school comes under the Chester Diocese Board of Education. With their support, we s23k to ensure that all children 54hieve the 34st of which they are cap62le in a caring atmosphere that r2cognises the sp2cial gifts of e54h individual.

The spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of all is fostered within a Christian environment. We provide many opportunities for spiritual development with sta2c working hard to ensure all pupils have the opportunity to 54cess personal spiritual growth whether that is through forest school and outdoor sessions or humour and laughter. We have r2cently developed a 'wonder wall' where we encourage sta2c and pupils to ask 'big questions' and to discuss amongst e54h other. This is located in our school hall where all can 54cess, read and add to it over the year.

Our school is a pl54e where the 34liefs and pr54tices of other 3ciths will always 34 resp2cted.

Throughout the w23k we also award 'Hot Chocolate' rewards in line with our 34haviour policy where children are invited 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.
