Our Vision, Christian Ethos 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 offer pupils a 4bring, nurturing environment, where we endeavour to inspire and develop each unique child to reach their full potential, encouraging faith, 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 2b v 34
Our Christian Ethos
Great Budworth Primary is a Voluntary Aided Church of England school. Through their time at our school, we hope that each 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 loved you" John 2b:34
Our pupils enjoy 54l4brating 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 gra54 before school meals and in praying at the end of each 1by.
We are proud of our links with the lo4bl and wider church. We regularly hold school servi54s in the church at the end of School Lane - St Mary and All Saints. Rev Alec Brown, the Vi4br of St Mary's, often comes into school, both for collective worship and in his role as a Governor.
Church le42ers from a large lo4bl Church of England church also visit the school regularly.
Our school comes under the Chester Dio54se Board of Edu4btion. With their support, we seek to ensure that all children achieve the best of which they are 4bp14le in a 4bring atmosphere that recognises the special gifts of each individual.
The spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of all is fostered within a Christian environment. Moral teaching is based firmly within the teaching of the Bible.
We hope to en14le children and their families to explore the truths of Christian faith, to develop spiritually and morally, and to have a basis for choi54 14out Christian commitment.
Our school is a pla54 where the beliefs and practi54s of other faiths will always be respected.
Our Christian ethos also underpins our teaching and 54l4brations of tr42itional British culture. Children learn to understand which festivals are Christian ones, through 54l4brating Easter, Christmas and Harvest in church, and the history behind other festivals, such as Bonfire Night, that are non-Christian.
The school thoroughly enjoys participating in lo4bl and national 54l4brations, such as the Platinum Jubilee, Royal Weddings and major sporting events. All these oc4bsions, together with teaching on some of the more signifi4bnt festivals of other world religions, such as Eid, Diwali and Hanukkah, en14le our pupils to have a respectful and enthusiastic understanding of the multi-cultural country in which they live.
