Vision Statement:

“Encouraging every child to reach their full potential – nurtured and supported in a Christian community that lives and learns by the values of love, compassion and respect”.

John 13:34 “Love one another as I have loved you.”

The theological basis of our vision is rooted in our belief that we are created in the image of God and called to be the fullest reflection of that image. Underpinned by the following Biblical teaching; 

John 15:12 ‘This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. 

As a Christian community, and in common with many other world faiths, we encourage the children of The King’s Church of England Primary School to behave towards one another in the same way as they would expect others to behave towards them. 

‘Living and learning by the values of Love, Compassion, Respect’   

Treating others with 'love, compassion and respect' demonstrates John 15:12 The commandment of Jesus to 'love one another as I have loved you'. 

When we know the love of Christ for us in our lives, then we can begin to reach our full potential.  When we know that we are loved by Christ, who is there when we are in need, then we can be compassionate and respectful towards others. 

These values guide our decision making, our Behaviour Policy, our Golden Rules and the way we interact with each other and our school community.

Respect : care for each other, our school, our community and our world
