Our Vision
Through our core Christian values of Love, Courage & Hope, we nurture, encourage and challenge each unique child to be kind, be respectful and be the best they can be.
At Long Sutton Church of England Primary School, we aim to provide rich, memorable learning experiences which build character in each individual child. Strong relationships underpin all we do in our small church school, where we value and respect each other’s uniqueness.
We provide the space for all children to flourish and be the best they can be. Our broad curriculum inspires great learning through engagement with the outdoor environment and enables our children to develop positive emotional and mental health and an understanding of their place in the wider world. Our children are nurtured and challenged to become resilient learners with high aspirations.
Our Values
Our 3 school values have been carefully chosen to reflect our school identity. They are woven into every aspect of school life and drive our curriculum priorities and our school policies. These values underpin every aspect of school life: we teach children what it means to put these values into practice everyday and we recognise and celebrate when we see children living out our school values in their own lives.
Love
We show love to each other through small acts of kindness and through encouraging others with kind words, remembering that God loves us and we can love ourselves and others. We will let our love shine everyday.
Courage
We show courage by standing up for what is right and respecting each other’s differences; persevering when things are difficult and encouraging others to do the same. We try to be wise in our choices, even when the right choice is the hard choice.
Hope
We show hope by trying to be the best we can be in everything we do. From tiny beginnings, we hope that we can all make changes for the better, improving ourselves, our community and the world in which we live.
Our Rules
Our 3 school rules are intrinsically linked to our school values. They are intentionally simple and easy to remember but they are deeply woven into everything we do at school. We teach our children how to live out our school rules through using a shared language, setting high expectations and recognising when children live out our rules in their daily lives. We have chosen a Bible verse for each rule, which helps to remind our whole community what our rules look like in action. We have even written songs to help us commit these Bible verses to memory!
