Values and Ethos

Our School Vision:

As a church school, we work to ensure each child can flourish to achieve their God given potential.

We do this by building a safe and inclusive community that fosters teamwork and promotes excellence in learning.  We encourage all to follow their dreams, value their self worth and contribute to their community and the wider world.

We work for this vision by living out our values of:-

• Truthfulness
• Compassion
• Forgiveness
• Respect

Jesus said ' I have come that they may have life and have it to the full'- John v10b

Our School Aims:

1. to ensure that the curriculum enables children to grow in knowledge, skills and understanding
2. to build Christian values into the ethos and teaching without exerting  pressure to believe
3. to encourage the spiritual and moral development of the whole school community
4. to encourage the active involvement of its foundation governors and local clergy
5. to build sympathetic and constructive relationships between home, community and school, which provide preparation for the pupil’s entry into the wider society
6. to show concern and care for all the teaching staff, non-teaching staff and parents, as well as pupils
7. to develop a positive attitude and respect for the school buildings and its environment

Christian Values

At Swinderby All Saints Church of England Primary School we believe it is important to develop core values by which to live and these help to develop a moral and spiritual awareness. We seek to explore the meanings of the core values and their significance through daily acts of worship delivered by the teachers of the school as well as Rev. Vaughan and other guests.

Our Christian Values are: Truthfulness, Compassion, Forgiveness and Respect.

These are the core values we want our children to leave with. Whilst these gifts are inclusive of human values, we try to anchor them into the Christian faith by relating them to the Bible through stories and readings. We attend services at Swinderby All Saint's Church at least every term to worship.

 Our Leavers' service takes place in the school, at the end of the school year. Families and the local community are warmly invited to join us on all of these occasions.
