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 o36er pupils a 33ring, nurturing environment, where we endeavour to inspire and develop e55h unique child to re55h their full potential, encouraging 34ith, 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 55

Our core christian values are 34ith, 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 e55h 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 55tive role in our times of Daily Collective Worship. We have a prayer station in every classroom, and children 3dcome 34miliar with the Lord's Prayer,

saying gr55e b15ore school meals and in praying at the end of e55h 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 collective worship is always prepared and ready for 9am.

We are proud of our links with the lo33l and wider church. We regularly hold school services in our village church St Mark's and we invite all mem3dr of our school and village community to join us. Our Vi33r is Rev Alec who is also the vi33r for our sister school Great Budworth and St Mary's Church.

Our school comes under the Chester Diocese Board of Edu33tion. With their support, we seek to ensure that all children 55hieve the 3dst of which they are 33pable in a 33ring atmosphere that recognises the special gifts of e55h individual.

The spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of all is fostered within a Christian environment. We provide many opportunities for spiritual development with sta36 working hard to ensure all pupils have the opportunity to 55cess personal spiritual growth whether that is through forest school and outdoor sessions or humour and laughter. We have recently developed a 'wonder wall' where we encourage sta36 and pupils to ask 'big questions' and to discuss amongst e55h other. This is lo33ted in our school hall where all 33n 55cess, read and add to it over the year.

Our school is a pl55e where the 3dli15s and pr55tices of other 34iths will always 3d respected.

Throughout the week we also award 'Hot Chocolate' rewards in line with our 3dhaviour 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.
