Christian Distinctiveness
Our Christian Vision
“Love, Learn and be Extraordinary”
"Love your neighbour as yourself" (Mark 12:31)
Our STARS Values
Whilst each school’s Christian character is celebrated within our family of schools, we are united through our shared STARS values: Sharing, Trust, Achievement, Respect and Safety. Our STARS values are the characteristics and behaviours that we ALL share.
Our Christian Values
Compassion, Trust, Perseverance, Respect and Hope.
Our vision and Christian values drive our daily moral purpose and ensure we live out our vision in all that we do. Our Christian values help staff and pupils focus on making the right decisions, strive for high standards and help us fulfil our vision of "Love, Learn and be Extraordinary", ensuring every child and adult can become life-long learners and see their limitless potential as well as flourish to become extraordinary people now and in the future.
Through an extraordinary education, we empower pupils to be lifelong learners and see their limitless potential.
Respectful relationships and an unwavering focus on discovering talents and interests enable pupils to flourish and be extraordinary people.
Together, we spark aspiration and drive achievement, so that pupils contribute positively to society and to their extraordinary futures in an ever-changing world.
Following our Biblical underpinning, “Love your neighbour as yourself" (Mark 12:32), we strive to give children rich opportunities and broad learning experiences to enable them to flourish as unique individuals and appreciate, understand and value all beliefs, both in their local community and in the wider world, to help create extraordinary futures for all.
Compassion
Our first Christian value is compassion.
Linked to the STARS value: Sharing.
This is underpinned by the story in the bible where Jesus feeds the 5,000. Jesus taught the Christian value of compassion in this story and the importance of love, faith and selflessness.
Trust
Our second Christian value is trust.
Linked to STARS value: Trust.
This is underpinned by the parable Jesus told, ‘The Good Shepherd.’ Jesus taught his followers to trust in God and that every one of God’s children is special and loved.
Perseverance
Our third Christian value is perseverance.
Linked to STARS value: Achievement.
Jesus taught his followers to persevere and never give up. We can all achieve, learn from mistakes and be successful, just like Zacchaeus the Tax Collector did follow Jesus’ guidance.
Respect
Our fourth Christian value is Respect.
Linked to STARS value: Respect.
This is inspired by the story in the Old Testament, ‘Moses and the Burning Bush’. We respect our ‘neighbours’, our environment and ourselves.
Hope
Our final Christian value is hope.
Linked to STARS value: Safety
Inspired by the bible story, ‘Noah’s Ark’, where God demonstrated his redemptive plan and hope for humankind and the rest of creation. By following the Christian value of hope, we are safe and brave and can follow our dreams so that we can flourish together.
SIAMS Report
A SIAMS report is the outcome of a Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools. It’s a formal inspection carried out in Church of England and Methodist schools to evaluate how well the school’s Christian vision, values, and ethos help children and adults learn, grow, and flourish.
Theological Underpinning -The Good Samaritan
In the parable of The Good Samaritan, Jesus taught us that ordinary people could be extraordinary and do extraordinary things. Jesus taught us how to love our neighbour as we love ourselves. By treating each other as we would like to be treated, we can love, learn and be extraordinary together.
Aligned vision
As a church school, our vision is strongly aligned with the Church of England, which roots its vision and purpose for education in the biblical exhortation to 'live life in all its fullness' (John 10:10)
As part of the Diocese of Worcester, our vision is strongly aligned with the diocesan vision:
Our diocesan vision is to grow as Kingdom People, sharing the good news of Jesus’ love in Worcestershire and Dudley. As the body of Christ, God’s Kingdom People, we join together to worship God, make disciples, share hope, and transform communities as we live out values of love, compassion, justice and freedom.
