Vision & Values
‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbour as yourself.’
All children and staff of St Giles’ will achieve their potential and develop a responsible attitude to their learning, no matter what their starting point. This will be achieved through access to an outstanding education, high quality teaching and a balanced, creative and varied curriculum – all of which are founded on our theologically rooted Christian vision. Our special bible story – The Good Samaritan, and our special bible verse (Mark 12: 30-31) underpin our approach to all aspects of school love and from this flows our three core values: respect, resilience and responsibility.
Our core Christian values permeate all areas of school life and all stakeholders feel safe and secure, demonstrating mutual respect, collective and personal responsibility and the resilience to persevere and have hope when things are challenging.
Children have opportunities to experience success and develop resilience in their learning. They will be enabled to develop coping strategies to support their own wellbeing when they encounter difficulties either emotionally or academically. They will also learn about the importance of caring for our world and to appreciate its natural wonders.
We will offer a vibrant and exciting learning environment which is friendly, welcoming and engaging to everyone. Our school is an inclusive community of children, adults (staff, governors, parents, extended families) and members of the wider community. We value everyone and seek to demonstrate this in our approach to all aspects of school life.
