OUR VISION AND VALUES FOR OUR SCHOOL
At All Saints' Church of England School we have a Christian environment where we are inclusive and we respect each other and people from all faiths and races. Together we flourish and help each other to learn and achieve our potential in a safe, loving and caring family.
Hebrews 12.1.3
Let us throw off everything that hinders and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus.
Mission Statement
We aim to provide:
There is no place for extremist views of any kind in our school, whether from internal sources – pupils, staff, visiting adults, governors etc. or external sources – school community, external agencies or individuals.
Any prejudice, discrimination or extremist views, including derogatory language, displayed by pupils, staff, visitors or parents will always be challenged and, where appropriate, dealt with. Where misconduct by a teacher is proven, the matter will be referred to the National College for Teaching and Leadership for their consideration. Misconduct by other staff will be dealt with under normal school disciplinary procedures.
We encourage pupils to respect the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect, and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs. We ensure that partisan political views are not promoted in the teaching of any subject in the school and where political issues are brought to the attention of the pupils, reasonably practicable steps are taken to offer a balanced presentation of opposing views to pupils.
THE ETHOS OF OUR SCHOOL
“All Saints’ CE Primary School provides education in accordance with the principles and practices of the Church of England. Worship, religious education and spiritual development are at the heart of every aspect of the work of this school.”
At All Saints’ CE School we aim to provide all of our pupils with a high quality education within a caring Christian environment where our Christian values of trust, forgiveness, friendship, truthfulness and perseverance, hope, responsibility, thankfulness, justice and peace are embedded. Collective worship and Religious Education are effective in communicating the Christian values and are specifically linked to the half termly worship and SEAL themes. Pupils develop a growing understanding of these Christian values as they progress through the school and this is reflected in, and impacts on, their behaviour and attitudes to each other, the whole school, the wider community and their daily life.
The school supports a number of charities including Operation Christmas Child and Sponsor a Child. It is important that the children have the opportunity to study the causes they are supporting to give real meaning and understanding.
AIMS FOR THE SCHOOL
The school aims to help the children develop lively and enquiring minds, to question and debate, to apply themselves with confidence to tasks, to gain in physical skills, to have respect for the opinions of others, to find enjoyment and fulfillment in their activities and to gain satisfaction from their achievements.
We approach the curriculum through a varied teaching programme. This is designed to stimulate active learning through investigation and problem solving. We value the individuality of each child and encourage all pupils to realise their full potential.
It is the intention of the School Governors that parents will be fully informed and consulted on the progress of their children.
