The Vision of Christ Church CE (VA) Junior School

I alone know the plans I have for you; plans for the future you hope for. Jeremiah 29:11

God’s plans for us are limitless. He knows us best and plans for us to reach our unique and individual potential, shaped in the palm of His hand. This potential may reveal itself when we least expect it, just like God’s love being revealed to us. We believe that we are shaping children, not just in the present, but also for the future – enabling them to be global citizens in God’s rapidly changing world; celebrating life in all its fullness.

 Vision:

We seek to transform the lives of our children within a Christian environment, nurturing the wellbeing of each child, promoting the highest academic achievement and instilling a lifelong love of learning.

Aims:

Through the Christian Foundation, following Jesus as an example, the school aspires to develop children and staff by:

• Recognising the worth of each person, child or adult, created in God’s image and therefore of infinite individual value
• Helping all to grow spiritually, intellectually, physically, emotionally, morally and socially
• Encouraging all to value the Christian faith and worship whilst embracing the beliefs and cultures of our local community and supporting a growing awareness of major world faiths
• Growing in understanding of belief, being able to ponder the big questions of life, suggesting answers based on high quality Religious Education
• Offering a safe, challenging and inspirational learning environment, underpinned by Christian Values, which seeks to remove barriers to learning
• Providing inspirational education which excites the children to give of their best and fulfil their potential, supported by a staff team who love and respect children
• Inspiring the school family through the love that Christ exemplifies for self, others and God’s world
