Our Vision
Our school vision is to be a centre of excellence by providing a stimulating, safe, enjoyable and happy community. Where every child reaches their full potential to prepare for adult life. We wish for every individual to have a life-long passion for learning while creating memorable experiences and staying true to themselves.
‘Love to Learn, Learn to Love’ is at the heart of all we do at Sedley’s CE Primary School, where we encourage and build foundations for lifelong learning through our Christian values. Embedding a growth mindset allows individuals to flourish and grow as part of a strong inclusive community.
Our fifty word vision links with John Chapter 13, Verses 34 – 35.
Our School Values
These values are referenced and supported within all elements of our school community. They are at the heart of our daily life in school, and they are woven through our curriculum and central to our Collective Worship.
We aim to serve our community by providing an excellent education for pupils of all abilities and backgrounds in the context of Christian belief and practice. We promote Christian values in accordance with the principles of the Church of England and spiritual development through the experience we offer to all our pupils. Our school will preserve and develop its religious character in accordance with the principles of the Church of England and in partnership with the Church at the parish and diocesan levels.
Our guiding principle is to put the children at the heart of all that we do to ensure they are equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to flourish and embrace life in all its fullness.
Love
Faith in God
Forgiveness
Sharing and Caring
Honesty
Love is at the centre of life at Sedley’s and drives all that we do. We encourage positive behaviour rooted in love, and use the example set by Jesus to show love for everyone.
Faith in God gives us strength to live our lives and to grow in our resilience and belief that we can achieve. Faith helps us all to recognise the ups and downs of life in all its’ fullness and to embrace all that comes our way.
Forgiveness helps all members of our community flourish and work together in a positive way. We understand the importance of accepting each others’ opinions and that we become more rounded individuals if we are able to forgive and show love, leading to happier outcomes for all.
At Sedley’s we are taught to share in many ways both in learning and play. We understand the value of sharing and caring and how it leads to successful collaboration.
We understand how honesty is a pathway to success and achievement, and that it builds trust. Honesty with ourselves, our learning and others means we are able to work and play together positively.
