Christian Vision & Values 

Our Vision

To live a life in all its fullness we 'Aim for our Highest' by following our school values and creating strong foundations to grow and learn. 

Our Values

The values that underpin our vision are kindness, forgiveness, respect, honesty, teamwork and courage.

Kindness - In school, everyone is encouraged to be caring and empathetic to the feelings of others and to show kindness by treating others how they would like to be treated. Christians believe that kindness has the power to soften hearts.

Forgiveness - In school,  everyone is helped to acknowledge that we all make mistakes and we encourage everyone to show forgiveness to each other. The Bible teaches Christians that forgiveness is the means by which damaged relationships can be restored.

Respect  - In school, everyone is expected to show respect for each other, their belongings and their environment. The Bible teachers Christians to respect all creation, including all people, animals and our environment.  

Honesty - In school, we encourage everyone to be truthful in their dealings with one another. Christians believe that truth is revealed in the Bible, showing us the way that God means us to live.  

Teamwork  - In school, we are taught to value the contribution that everyone makes to the team and that by working together we can improve the local and global communities we live in. The Bible teaches Christians that life is a gift from God and it is our responsibility to use our talents and abilities in the best way we can.  

Courage - In school, we encourage everyone to overcome their fears by participating in the wide range of experiences offered at school.  All children are different but we believe that by showing courage they will be able to live a ‘life in all its fullness’.

Our Ethos

At Sampford Peverell CofE Primary School. our vision and accompanying values form the foundations from which all pupils and adults, irrespective of faith or background, can be successful and thrive. Our school is a place where everyone is able to flourish in a caring, supportive and safe environment; where we embrace individuality and celebrate those qualities that make us all unique (Genisis 1:27) and where we learn to treat others in the same way that we would like to be treated (Luke 6:31). We believe that for everyone to flourish and live a life in all its fullness (John 10:10), they need to build from strong foundations (Matthew 7:24).
