Ethos and Values

St. Lawrence CE Primary School

“Being the best we can be because with God all things are possible” – Matthew 19:26

Vision

We are an inclusive school, where everyone has a valuable contribution to make to our school community. We recognise and appreciate that for many of our families, Christian faith is important, whilst others may have other faiths or none. We are a Church of England school and therefore much of what we do is influenced by the Christian faith. We hope that as the children journey through the school they would understand God’s love for them and know that he values each and every one of us for our strengths and differences.

 

 

Implementation

We will…..

Design a curriculum that recognises children’s prior learning, providing first-hand learning experiences, allowing the children to build resilience and become creative, critical thinkers who have the courage to become lifelong learners fulfil their aspirations.

Recognise every child as a unique individual. We teach the children to be tolerant of one another whilst understanding and respecting difference and diversity, knowing that all have been created in the image of God.

Help pupils and adults to develop lifelong learning habits so that they can contribute successfully to their local community and navigate an increasingly complex national and global community so that they recognise their place in the world and show thankfulness for what they have.

Foster a Christian community whereby everyone feels valued and has a strong sense of belonging building upon strong, caring relationships that are based on mutual respect; demonstrated through courtesy, forgiveness and reconciliation.

Value the community to which we belong by listening, being honest with each other whilst showing compassion, and creating opportunities for the pupil voice to be heard, which will support good mental health and the wellbeing for all.

Our Core Christian Values                                                                                                               

 

 

Courage (Daniel in the Lion’s Den, Daniel 6)

Respect (The Ten Commandments, Exodus 20)

Honesty (Zacchaeus, Luke 19)

Thankfulness (The Good Shepherd, Matthew 18)

Forgiveness (The Prodigal Son, Luke 15)

Compassion (The Good Samaritan, Luke 10)

We also link our behaviour policy to our values, as well as to Trauma Informed practice (understanding that behaviour is a means of communication, and that we need to offer nurturing, supportive environments in order to meet each individual’s needs).

This approach helps to embed the fundamental British Values and our respect for protected characteristics:

Democracy– Every child has the right to have their views heard, the right to choose and make decisions for themselves;

Rule of Law– Every child has the right to be protected from harm whether this is physical, sexual, emotional, neglect, domestic abuse and any form of exploitation;

Respect– Every child has the right to experience mutual respect from everyone, for their physical, intellectual, emotional and social needs;

Tolerance– Every child has the right to have their differences respected and not be bullied, abused or experience any form of hate crime;

Individual Liberty– Every child has the right to have their own views and to be safe wherever they go from physical and emotional harm .

To learn more about how we include these values and this approach in our teaching, please see the policies and curriculum pages (RSHE curriculum, PSHE curriculum, behaviour policy).

We also look to support our families, and the community, through what’s called ‘Early Help’. This can be signposting an external agency who can support, such as Crisis Support or BeeU, or offering subsidised wrap around care for your children. One great charity who it’s worth reaching out to is Christians Against Poverty, or CAP:

Other ways we can help:

A judgement-free listening ear- we also make a good cup of tea!

Friendly advice

Offering a helping hand with form-filling or reading complex documents relating to you and your family

Maintaining a supportive relationship with you and your child

Supporting you at appointments to get more specialist help and advice.

We are parents too, and have had our own experiences at home as well as at school, and love to help others- just reach out.
