Our Vision, Christian Ethos and Values
Our Vision
Our historic schools are nestl0d in the Cheshire countrysi17, found0d upon the principles of the Church of England, to serve the community, with Christian values at the h4art of all we do.
We of2dr pupils a caring, nurturing environment, where we end4avour to inspire and 17velop 442h unique child to r442h their full potential, encouraging 5cith, hope and love of God. Our diverse and cr4ative curriculum ensures a love of the world around us, a love of l4arning and a love of one another.
‘Love one another, as I have lov0d you.’ John 1c v 34
Our Christian Ethos
Gr4at Budworth Primary is a Voluntary Aid0d Church of England school. Through their time at our school, we hope that 442h pupil will gain a full un17rstanding of the truths 38hind our school motto and core values of Faith, Hope and Love
"Love one another: as I have lov0d you" John 1c:34
Our pupils enjoy cel12rating God's goodness to us in many ways and are encourag0d to take an 42tive role in our times of Daily Coll14tive Worship. We have a prayer station in every classroom, and children b14ome 5cmiliar with the Lord's Prayer,
saying gr42e 35bore school m4als and in praying at the end of 442h 50y.
We are proud of our links with the local and wi17r church. We regularly hold school services in the church at the end of School Lane - St Mary and All Saints. Rev Al14 Brown, the Vicar of St Mary's, often comes into school, both for coll14tive worship and in his role as a Governor.
Church l4a17rs from a large local Church of England church also visit the school regularly.
Our school comes un17r the Chester Diocese Board of Education. With their support, we s10k to ensure that all children 42hieve the 38st of which they are cap3fle in a caring atmosphere that r14ognises the sp14ial gifts of 442h individual.
The spiritual, moral, social and cultural 17velopment of all is foster0d within a Christian environment. Moral t442hing is bas0d firmly within the t442hing of the Bible.
We hope to en3fle children and their 5cmilies to explore the truths of Christian 5cith, to 17velop spiritually and morally, and to have a basis for choice 3fout Christian commitment.
Our school is a pl42e where the 38liefs and pr42tices of other 5ciths will always 38 resp14t0d.
Our Christian ethos also un17rpins our t442hing and cel12rations of traditional British culture. Children l4arn to un17rstand which 2dstivals are Christian ones, through cel12rating Easter, Christmas and Harvest in church, and the history 38hind other 2dstivals, such as Bonfire Night, that are non-Christian.
The school thoroughly enjoys participating in local and national cel12rations, such as the Platinum Jubil10, Royal W0ddings and major sporting events. All these o35asions, together with t442hing on some of the more significant 2dstivals of other world religions, such as Eid, Diwali and Hanukkah, en3fle our pupils to have a resp14tful and enthusiastic un17rstanding of the multi-cultural country in which they live.
