Vision & Values
Vision for St Giles’ C.E. Primary School
St Giles is a vibrant and exciting school which is stimulating, friendly and inviting.
Everyone at St Giles’ will achieve their potential and develop a responsible attitude to their learning, no matter what their starting point. This is achieved through access to an outstanding education, professional development, high quality teaching and a balanced, creative and varied curriculum.
We are proud to be a Church of England school and we are passionate about ensuring that our core Christian values permeate all areas of school life. While we consider these values, such as kindness and peace, to be Christian, we are also aware and model that all these values are as important to other faith systems and world views.
We have embraced the Bible story of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10v25-37) to illustrate our Christian Vision and Values in action. Through the expansive opportunities offered, we strive for everyone in our school to ‘love our neighbour as we love ourselves.’ By living out our values in our daily lives, becoming responsible citizens and demonstrating respect, positive mental health and wellbeing, it allows us to foster and nurture personal growth.
All stakeholders feel safe and secure, demonstrating mutual respect and acceptance. Children will leave our school respectful, resilient and responsible, ensuring they are ready for the next stages of their life.
Children have opportunities to experience success and develop resilience in their learning. They are enabled to develop coping strategies to support their own wellbeing when they encounter difficulties either emotionally or academically. Children learn about the importance of caring for our world and to appreciate its natural wonders.
Everyone has access to the high quality resources required to deliver our vision. The school is the hub of the community where parents, staff and children are supported and enjoy opportunities to express their views.
‘Inspire, Believe, Achieve in God’s Love’
