Vision and Values

Ethos

Kislingbury Primary School strives to maintain high levels of education within a caring Christian family at the heart of the community. School leaders aim to preserve the unique friendly character of this village school for generations to come.

Our Vision

To ensure every member of our school community flourishes, academically, socially, emotionally and spiritually within a supportive Christian Family through our shared Christian values, with an overarching sense of love.

Love is patient, love is kind, it does not envy it does not boast, it does not keep a record of wrongs, it rejoices in the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres.

Corinthians 13

We strive to ensure:

• every child achieves their full potential and will be prepared for life beyond primary,
• every child will flourish and grow within our caring Christian community, and develop strong social, moral, spiritual and cultural awareness,
• every child will benefit from excellent teaching across all areas of the curriculum,
• every child will feel safe and happy at our school and develop the intrinsic values of British society,
• every child will be supported in their journey through our school by a strong, dedicated team of staff, school leaders and governors, striving for continual improvement.

School Values

We have chosen 7 values that are at the heart of our teaching; and these underpin everything we do in our school. These values as listed below, are integral to our school family and set the behaviour standards of our pupils and staff. We promote a strong Christian ethos which respects other faiths and religions. Those values are all encompassed by our overriding value of love.

Our pupils are awarded house points for demonstrating the values and good behaviour through their daily activities whether it is at school or at home. Each child is allocated to one of our 4 houses (Red, Blue, Yellow and Green) and each house is associated with a collective charity. Regular school events such as 'House Day' allows funds to be raised for the charity. Every week the house points are totaled and the house that obtains the most points is awarded 'House of the Week'. Our pupils enjoy working together to achieve their best and compete in a healthy way.

Our values and ethos also encourage our pupils to understand the ‘British Values’ through the spiritual, moral, social and cultural issues that are evident today and help prepare them for life in modern Britain.

Each term we have a specific value which is the focus of our Worship schedule and this links to our PSHE (Psychological, Social, Health and Emotional) work. We communicate our values regularly and inform governors via meetings and parents via newsletters. This allows the school community to work together to promote the positive values.

Our Seven Core Christian Values are:

Love | Forgiveness | Kindness | Respect | Perseverance | Honesty | Friendship
