Our Vision, our Core Christian Values and Ethos

Trust in each other, Respect one another, Shine for yourself!

Our school is founded on Christian values, principles and beliefs.  We are a small, happy school in which pupils work hard and learn well, within a nurturing and safe environment.

At Piddle Valley CE First School we recognise that all members of our school community – children, parents, carers, staff, volunteers and governors – are unique and valued for the contribution they make.

 

Our Vision: To develop well rounded, confident and responsible individuals who aspire to achieve their full potential. We will do this by providing a welcoming, happy, safe, and supportive learning environment in which everyone is equal and all achievements are celebrated. This vision links to our core Christian Values of TRUST, RESPECT and SHINE!

 

Piddle Valley CE First School is special because we aim to…

  • Create an environment where children develop the confidence to think for themselves and enjoy their time at school.
  • Encourage high standards, seeing all children as individuals and helping them to achieve their full potential.
  • Develop an understanding of our 3 core values for the whole school community; Trust, Respect, Shine!
  • Make learning an enjoyable experience.
  • Develop in children a sense of awe and wonder at the world around them.
  • Help children to become caring and responsible citizens who have positive attitudes towards the well being of themselves and others.
  • Develop in children respect for other people and their surroundings.
  • Celebrate self-esteem and build up confidence by reacting positively to children and their work.
  • Promote constructive relationships between governors, staff, parents, carers, volunteers and the church and wider community.
  • Recognise and celebrate our Christian values which permeate through all aspects of school life.
