SpetisburyCofE Primary School
🌳 Our Vision & Values
At Spetisbury Church of England Primary School, we believe every child should be known, challenged and nurtured to flourish.
Rooted in our Christian foundation, our vision shapes every aspect of school life; from the curriculum we design to the relationships we build and the care we provide.
We want our pupils to leave us not only well-educated, but confident, compassionate and secure in who they are; ready to embrace the future with resilience and hope.
Symbols of growth surround our school — in our environment, our celebrations and our shared language — reflecting our collective commitment to:
“Growing and maturing in our learning journey”
This vision calls us to nurture the whole child: mind, body and spirit, recognising that each learner develops at their own pace and that every journey matters.
📖 A Deeply Rooted Vision
Inspired by Psalm 1, we are reminded that strong foundations enable lasting growth:
"They are like trees planted by streams of water,
that bear fruit at the right time,
and whose leaves do not dry up.
They succeed in everything they do."
— Psalm 1:3
Like the tree, we believe children thrive when they feel secure, supported and inspired. Success may look different for each pupil, but with the right guidance and encouragement, every child can prosper.
💡 Our Values
Our six core values guide the way we learn, behave and care for one another. They are lived daily through our teaching, collective worship and the many shared moments that shape our community.
Our values are:
Perseverance:
We continue to achieve or to try despite challenge or difficulty.
'Happy is the person who remains faithful under trials.' James 1:12
Honesty:
We know that this is more than just telling the truth - this should be a given. We are honest with ourselves and always commit to giving our very best.
'Our love should not just be words and tal; it must be true love which shows itself in action.' 1 John 3:18
Teamwork:
Although we are individuals striving to be our very best, we know that we are part of a bigger team and through cooperation we can achieve much more as one school.
'For the body itself is not made up of only one part, but of many parts.' 1 Corinthians 12:14.
Reflect:
We all play our part to reflect upon, challenge and improve the way we lead our lives and how we use our talents.
'Let us examine our ways and test them, and let us return to the Lord.' Lamentations 3:40
Respect:
We care for ourselves, each other, the environment and our community.
'Do for others what you want them to do for you.' Matthew 7:12
Compassion: We know that compassion is greater than sympathy or empathy and we therefore we are motivated to help and to show love.
'The Lord is loving and merciful, slow to become angry and full of constant love.' Psalms 145 8:9
