Our School Values and Spirituality

Our Christian Character

We are proud members of St Christopher's Multi Academy Trust.

The St Christopher's Trust vision is rooted within:

  • The Church of England's Vision for Education with Jesus' promise of 'life in all its fullness' (John 10:10) at its heart

  • Educating for wisdom, knowledge and skills; 

  • Educating for hope and aspiration;

  • Educating for community and living well together; 

  • Educating for dignity and respect.

  • Our school is a member of the Diocese of Exeter and we are wholly committed to the education and welfare of the children in our care.  All Saints CofE Primary School serves its community by working in partnership to provide an education of the highest quality within the context of Christian belief and practice, and understanding of shared values. As a school we celebrate the diversity of our nation and we are committed to the principles of inclusion and equality of opportunity. 

Spirituality

  • In line with St Christopher's Trust's definition of spirituality, at All Saints CofE Primary School we are taking a relational awareness approach to the development of spirituality.

  • Relational awareness means making connections, drawing comparisons, putting myself in others’ shoes, using emotional intelligence, reflecting on my place in the world.

Relationship with myself

I reflect upon and express my feelings and views

I celebrate how I am unique.

I am thankful for everything we have.

Relationship with others

I celebrate how we are all different.

I respect our differences.

I  love others and know that I am loved.

Relationship with the world

I celebrate the beauty of the world.

I make a difference.

I take time to reflect upon what matters in our world.

Relationship with the beyond, transcendent and God

I ask, reflect upon and discuss 'Big Questions'.

I reflect or pray, giving me the opportunity to connect with beyond or God.

I have a sense of what lies beyond what we know.

Our School Vision:

 

  • Psalm 24:1: The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.
     

  • The Good Samaritan, Luke 10: 27: You must love your neighbour as you love yourself. 

Values

Our core values of courage, honesty, respect, compassion and resilience form part of who we are.

These values are referred to as part of everything we do –  including learning about life, the world around us and our relationship with others and ourselves

Aspire: We have the courage and confidence to set high expectations and the skills, belief and resilience to succeed.  

Achieve: We support, develop and celebrate the academic and character growth of all, so that everyone achieves their full potential in the present and also in the future. 

Flourish: We nurture a sense of belonging within an inclusive, supportive and respectful school community that enables all to thrive and be happy.
