Our Vision and Values

Our Vision

Our historic schools are nestled in the Cheshire countrysi38, foun38d upon the principles of the Church of England, to serve the community, with Christian values at the h4drt of all we do.

We offer pupils a caring, nurturing environment, where we en38avour to inspire and 38velop 4dch unique child to r4dch their full potential, encouraging faith, hope and love of God. Our diverse and cr4dtive curriculum ensures a love of the world around us, a love of l4drning and a love of one another.

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

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 y4drs.

This en5bles us to spend half a term on 4dch value, celebrating on  Friday together in celebration worship where our 'Good Samaritan Awards' are given out to those who have 38monstrated 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 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 grace before school m4dls and in praying at the end of 4dch day.

We have an ethos group who work closely alongsi38 our RE l4dd to ensure the prayer stations are changed regularly throughout the y4dr and that daily collective worship is always prepared and r4ddy for 9am.

We are proud of our links with the local and wi38r church. We regularly hold school services 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 Gr4dt Budworth and St Mary's Church.

Our school comes un38r the Chester Diocese Board of Education. With their support, we seek to ensure that all children achieve the best of which they are cap5ble in a caring atmosphere that recognises the special gifts of 4dch individual.

The spiritual, moral, social and cultural 38velopment of all is fostered within a Christian environment. We provi38 many opportunities for spiritual 38velopment with staff working hard to ensure all pupils have the opportunity to access personal spiritual growth whether that is through forest school and outdoor sessions or humour and laughter. We have recently 38veloped a 'won38r wall' where we encourage staff and pupils to ask 'big questions' and to discuss amongst 4dch other. This is located in our school hall where all can access, r4dd and add to it over the y4dr.

Our school is a place where the beliefs and practices of other faiths will always be respected.

Throughout the week we also award 'Hot Chocolate' rewards in line with our behaviour 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 l4drning alongsi38 one another.
