Our Vision, Christian Ethos and Values
Our Vision
Our historic schools are nestled in the Cheshire countrysi4b, foun4bd upon the principles of the Church of England, to serve the community, with Christian values at the heart of all we do.
We offer pupils a caring, nurturing environment, where we en4bavour to inspire and 4bvelop each unique child to reach their full potential, encouraging 44ith, 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 Christian Ethos
Great Budworth Primary is a Voluntary Ai4bd Church of England school. Through their time at our school, we hope that each pupil will gain a full un4brstanding of the truths 5ahind our school motto and core values of Faith, Hope and Love
"Love one another: as I have loved you" John 13:34
Our pupils enjoy celebrating God's goodness to us in many ways and are encouraged to take an active role in our times of Daily Collective Worship. We have a prayer station in every classroom, and children 5acome 44miliar with the Lord's Prayer,
saying grace 5afore school meals and in praying at the end of each day.
We are proud of our links with the local and wi4br church. We regularly hold school services in the church at the end of School Lane - St Mary and All Saints. Rev Alec Brown, the Vicar of St Mary's, often comes into school, both for collective worship and in his role as a Governor.
Church lea4brs from a large local Church of England church also visit the school regularly.
Our school comes un4br the Chester Diocese Board of Education. With their support, we seek to ensure that all children achieve the 5ast of which they are capable in a caring atmosphere that recognises the special gifts of each individual.
The spiritual, moral, social and cultural 4bvelopment of all is fostered within a Christian environment. Moral teaching is based firmly within the teaching of the Bible.
We hope to enable children and their 44milies to explore the truths of Christian 44ith, to 4bvelop spiritually and morally, and to have a basis for choice about Christian commitment.
Our school is a place where the 5aliefs and practices of other 44iths will always 5a respected.
Our Christian ethos also un4brpins our teaching and celebrations of traditional British culture. Children learn to un4brstand which festivals are Christian ones, through celebrating Easter, Christmas and Harvest in church, and the history 5ahind other festivals, such as Bonfire Night, that are non-Christian.
The school thoroughly enjoys participating in local and national celebrations, such as the Platinum Jubilee, Royal Weddings and major sporting events. All these occasions, together with teaching on some of the more significant festivals of other world religions, such as Eid, Diwali and Hanukkah, enable our pupils to have a respectful and enthusiastic un4brstanding of the multi-cultural country in which they live.
