  • Values

Our 12 Christian Values lie at the heart of who we are as a Church school.  Each half term, we focus on one value and explore it in depth, aiming to understand its Christian context and consider ways to put it into action in our lives today.  Our values are embedded in our ethos, curriculum and worship and are enhanced through class reflective activities, whole school home learning projects, key Bible verses, displays and beliefs and values education.  Like a stick of seaside rock, if you were to ‘cut’ our church school anywhere, you would see these Christian values running through our whole school community. 

All classes have a special class Bible on display in a prominent place such as the reflection area. Daily prayer should be part of the children’s routine: start of the day with a prayer; a prayer before lunch, a prayer at the end of the day. Children can take it in turns to choose a prayer from a book, or to write their own prayer.  Each class has a copy of the Lord’s prayer for display.

 

Respect

Category: Values

 

To respect something or someone is to place great value on it, and act accordingly. In school this is often in terms of respecting the ideas and opinions of others, and caring for their property. We are told in the Bible to respect others, putting them before ourselves – this value goes hand in hand with service. 

 

Community

Community or ‘Koinonia’ expresses the quality of relationship within the Christian community. It is based on fellowship with Jesus. Through him, Christians become sons and daughters of God and therefore brothers and sisters of each other. They are all members of the same family.A central element of being a family is interdependence: all are needed and valued and each person is important to the whole. 
For the first Christians, this was expressed in a genuine common life with shared meals, shared possessions and practical support for the poor. The Christian church today continues to serve not only those within the Christian community but any who are in need.
 

Compassion

Compassion is a form of love which rises up when we are confronted with those who suffer or are vulnerable. It can be just an emotion, like sympathy, but Jesus’ example shows us that it should drive us into action to help alleviate the problem in any way we can. Feeling empathy – putting ourselves in someone else’s shoes – help us to put into action Jesus’ command to ‘love one another as we love ourselves’. 

 

Thankfulness

Thankfulness has always been a central part of the Christian faith. This thankfulness is directed towards God, who created and sustains the world. It stems for an awareness of all the good gifts God has given each of us which ‘overflows’ out of each of us. 
We show thankfulness through words and actions, giving gifts and serving others in response. 

Integrity

The word integrity comes from the same Latin root as integer and implies a wholeness of person. Just as we would talk about a whole number, so also we can talk about a whole person who is undivided. A person of integrity is living rightly, not divided, nor being a different person in different circumstances. A person of integrity is the same person in private that he or she is in public.

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus talked about those who were “pure in heart” (Matt. 5:8), implying an undividedness in following God’s commands. Integrity, therefore, not only implies an undividedness, but a moral purity as well.

The book of Proverbs provides an abundance of verses on integrity. Proverbs 10:9 says that, “He who walks in integrity walks securely, But he who perverts his ways will be found out.” A person of integrity will have a good reputation and not have to fear that he or she will be exposed or found out. Integrity provides a safe path through life.

We use cookies in order to improve your user experience by enabling our website to ‘remember’ you, either for the duration of your visit (using a ‘session cookie’) or for repeat visits (using a ‘persistent cookie’).
 
Cookies do lots of different jobs, like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, storing your preferences, and generally improving your experience of the website. Cookies make the interaction between you and the website faster and easier. If a website doesn’t use cookies, it will think you are a new visitor every time you move to a new page on the site – for example, when you enter your login details and move to another page it won’t recognise you and it won’t be able to keep you logged in.

Some websites will also use cookies to enable them to target their advertising or marketing messages based for example, on your location and/or browsing habits. We do not do this.
 
Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting (‘first party cookies’) or they may be set by other websites who run content on the page you are viewing (‘third party cookies’). 
 

What is in a cookie?

 
A cookie is a simple text file that is stored on your computer or mobile device by a website’s server and only that server will be able to retrieve or read the contents of that cookie. Each cookie is unique to your web browser. It will contain some anonymous information such as a unique identifier and the site name and some digits and numbers. It allows a website to remember things like your preferences or what’s in your shopping basket.
 

What to do if you don’t want cookies to be set

 
Some people find the idea of a website storing information on their computer or mobile device a bit intrusive, particularly when this information is stored and used by a third party without them knowing. Although this is generally quite harmless you may not, for example, want to see advertising that has been targeted to your interests. If you prefer, it is possible to block some or all cookies, or even to delete cookies that have already been set; but you need to be aware that you might lose some functions of that website. 
 

If you don’t want to receive cookies, you can modify your browser so that it notifies you when cookies are sent to it or you can refuse cookies altogether. You can also delete cookies that have already been set. If you wish to restrict or block web browser cookies which are set on your device then you can do this through your browser settings; the Help function within your browser should tell you how. Alternatively, you may wish to visit www.aboutcookies.org, which contains comprehensive information on how to do this on a wide variety of desktop browsers.
