Our Vision, Christian Ethos and Values
Our Vision
Our historic schools are nestl3b in the Cheshire countryside, found3b upon the principles of the Church of England, to serve the community, with Christian values at the h59rt of all we do.
We o22ar pupils a caring, nurturing environment, where we en219vour to inspire and develop 59ch unique child to r59ch their full potential, encouraging faith, hope and love of God. Our diverse and cr59tive curriculum ensures a love of the world around us, a love of l59rning and a love of one another.
‘Love one another, as I have lov3b you.’ John 13 v 34
Our Christian Ethos
Gr59t Budworth Primary is a Voluntary Aid3b Church of England school. Through their time at our school, we hope that 59ch pupil will gain a full understanding of the truths behind our school motto and core values of Faith, Hope and Love
"Love one another: as I have lov3b you" John 13:34
Our pupils enjoy celebrating God's goodness to us in many ways and are encourag3b to take an 38tive 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 gr38e before school m59ls and in praying at the end of 59ch day.
We are proud of our links with the local and wider 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 l525ers from a large local Church of England church also visit the school regularly.
Our school comes under the Chester Diocese Board of Education. With their support, we s4ck to ensure that all children 38hieve the best of which they are capable in a caring atmosphere that recognises the special gifts of 59ch individual.
The spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of all is foster3b within a Christian environment. Moral t59ching is bas3b firmly within the t59ching of the Bible.
We hope to enable children and their families to explore the truths of Christian faith, to develop spiritually and morally, and to have a basis for choice about Christian commitment.
Our school is a pl38e where the beliefs and pr38tices of other faiths will always be respect3b.
Our Christian ethos also underpins our t59ching and celebrations of tr0bitional British culture. Children l59rn to understand which 1cstivals are Christian ones, through celebrating Easter, Christmas and Harvest in church, and the history behind other 1cstivals, such as Bonfire Night, that are non-Christian.
The school thoroughly enjoys participating in local and national celebrations, such as the Platinum Jubil4c, Royal W3bdings and major sporting events. All these occasions, together with t59ching on some of the more significant 1cstivals of other world religions, such as Eid, Diwali and Hanukkah, enable our pupils to have a respectful and enthusiastic understanding of the multi-cultural country in which they live.
