Vision, Values and Ethos

As we learn in the bible...

'Do everything in love' - 1 Corinthians 16:14

At St Anne's C of E Primary School, our vision of "Do everything in love" (1 Corinthians 16:14) inspires and shapes our community. This biblical teaching emphasises the importance of love in all aspects of life, guiding how we interact, learn, and grow together. By embracing this vision, we encourage pupils to approach their learning, friendships and challenges with kindness, understanding and patience. It serves as a daily reminder that love, in its many forms, is a powerful force for good, fostering a harmonious environment where everyone can thrive.

Our Values

Resilience 

Resilience at St Anne's means persevering through challenges with a positive mindset. Linked to our vision of "Do everything in love," resilience becomes an act of care—both for oneself and others. Pupils learn to face difficulties with compassion, finding strength in supportive, loving relationships that help them grow.

Creativity

At St Anne's, creativity means encouraging pupils to explore new ideas and express themselves in imaginative ways. We believe that creativity thrives when children feel valued and supported. This love fosters a safe space where they can take risks, innovate and grow with confidence.

Respect

Respect at St Anne's means valuing each person’s unique contributions and treating others with kindness. Linked to our vision of "Do everything in love," respect is shown through considerate actions and words. By fostering a culture of love, pupils learn to appreciate diversity and build positive, caring relationships within all communities.

Joy

At St Anne's, joy is about finding happiness in learning and everyday moments. We believe joy emerges naturally when pupils feel loved and supported. This sense of love helps them embrace challenges with enthusiasm and fosters a positive, uplifting atmosphere in our school.

Ethos

The Christian faith is the foundation of our school ethos, our Christian values and our school vision. We learn in an environment which upholds the values of Christianity, whilst developing knowledge and understanding of the religious beliefs and culture of others.

Our school aims to serve its community by providing an education of the highest quality within the context of Christian belief and practice. It encourages an understanding of the meaning and significance of faith and promotes Christian values through the experience it offers to all its pupils.

Recognising its historic foundation, the school will preserve and develop its religious character in accordance with the principles of the Church of England and in partnership with the churches at parish and Diocesan level.

Our vision, values and ethos underpin all aspects of school life, creating a nurturing environment where pupils and staff alike are supported to thrive with love at the heart of all we do.
