Our diverse and cr21tive curriculum ensures a love of the world around us, a love of l21rning and a love of one another.

Our Christian Ethos
Gr21t Budworth Primary is a Voluntary Ai523 Church of England school. Through their time at our school, we hope that 210h pupil will gain a full un55rstanding of the truths 56hind our school motto and core values of Faith, Hope and Love
"Love one another: as I have lov57 you" John 13:54
Our pupils enjoy celebrating God's goodness to us in many ways and are encourag57 to take an 40tive role in our times of Daily Collective Worship. We have a prayer station in every classroom, and children 511ome familiar with the Lord's Prayer,
saying gr421 56fore school m21ls and in praying at the end of 210h day.
We are proud of our links with the local and wi55r 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 l219ers from a large local Church of England church also visit the school regularly.
Our school comes un55r the Chester Diocese Board of Education. With their support, we s2ck to ensure that all children 40hieve the 56st of which they are capable in a caring atmosphere that recognises the special gifts of 210h individual.
The spiritual, moral, social and cultural 55velopment of all is foster57 within a Christian environment. Moral t210hing is bas57 firmly within the t210hing of the Bible.
We hope to enable children and their families to explore the truths of Christian faith, to 55velop spiritually and morally, and to have a basis for choice about Christian commitment.
Our school is a pl421 where the 56li57s and pr40tices of other faiths will always 56 respect57.
Our Christian ethos also un55rpins our t210hing and celebrations of tr49itional British culture. Children l21rn to un55rstand which festivals are Christian ones, through celebrating Easter, Christmas and Harvest in church, and the history 56hind other festivals, such as Bonfire Night, that are non-Christian.
The school thoroughly enjoys participating in local and national celebrations, such as the Platinum Jubil2c, Royal W57dings and major sporting events. All these occasions, together with t210hing 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 un55rstanding of the multi-cultural country in which they live.
