Love, Grow and Flourish Together

We are proud that our school is a church school and seek for our community to be founded upon the moral principles which Christianity shares. However, we also recognise individual choice and freedom for those of different faiths and those of none. 

Our vision is based on Paul’s writings to the Ephesians:

Ephesians 3:17-19

That Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, as you are being rooted and grounded in love. I pray that you may have the power to comprehend, with all the saints, what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

Our vision has three aspects:

1. We seek to enable children to be rooted and grounded in love; we will feel loved and show love to others in our school and wider communities. We seek to feel a connection with the school, the staff, and the community through a shared sense of belonging. 

2. We strive to instil in pupils the power to comprehend; We will seek to grow in our understanding of all that is around us, encouraging all to live well together.  Through our curriculum, children will be taught to practise applying the skills necessary to demonstrate an age-related expertise in a wide range of subjects. We will seek to grow in our understanding of all that is around us.

3. Filled with the fullness of God; we want our pupils to be connected to themselves and their peers and to care deeply about the enrichment opportunities.  We want to help develop the resilience, habits, interests and hobbies that will enable pupils to flourish as people in a connected world. As self-aware and confident people, they will be grounded and have the intellectual freedom to explore and challenge ideas about the big questions.

The vision and values of the school forms the foundation and the rationale behind all that we do and will be considered in the formation of school policy and procedure and monitored for its impact.

Our school values are:

We show our love for each child by educating and enriching them in a way that gives them a good depth of knowledge and developing the skills and attitudes to grow in confidence to succeed.

We also recognise that there are key attributes and skills which make a successful and life-long learner. Through our school culture, curriculum and community, we seek to instil these attributes in those who work and learn at Abberley Parochial V.C. Primary School.

These learning attributes and key actions are:

'A Christian school is one in which the entire atmosphere is pervaded by the conviction that there is something mysterious, and potentially wonderful, in everybody.' Archbishop of Canterbury

Our vision is inspired by the Church of England's Vision for Education, which can be found below.
