Ethos, Vision and Values

Meppershall Church of England Academy

Love of God, Love of life, Love of learning, Love of each other.
 

Our Vision

Our vision is for each child to thrive, in an environment of faith, aspiration, creativity, challenge and celebration; and to make their own unique contribution to the school, the community and the wider world. It is based on two texts from the Bible:


“God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God lives in them.”
(1 John 4:16)
 
“Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.” (Proverbs 22:6)


Our Ethos

Our school is a place where:
  • each child learns and grows through a curriculum that offers new opportunities, encourages aspiration and celebrates diversity.
  • each child is celebrated as unique and has opportunities to flourish
  • the wellbeing of each child is prioritised so they grow in confidence of who they are and what they can achieve.

Our Aims

  • to be ambitious for what we want our children to achieve.
  • to provide excellent care to help all children stay safe, and develop physical and emotional wellbeing.
  • to build a community based on mutual respect, where living our values every day leads to everyone enjoying “Life in all its fullness”.
  • to provide and deliver excellent teaching and learning opportunities that allow children to:
  • nurture a lifelong love of learning
  • be inspired to achieve
  • develop awe, wonder, curiosity and thankfulness
  • establish secure self-esteem (through understanding they are unique, precious and valued)
  • explore, investigate and make mistakes without fear of failure or criticism;
  • acquire the key skills of communication (speaking and listening, reading and writing) and numeracy
  • develop resilience and problem solving skills that will enable them to adapt to a changing society.
  • grow in confidence and independence
  • demonstrate a high standard of personal behaviour, understanding the difference between right and wrong and the consequences of their actions for themselves and others
  • explore and develop their own values, beliefs and spiritual awareness,
  • recognise, understand, appreciate, respect and celebrate cultural and social diversity
