Croscombe CofE & Stoke St Michael Primary Federation Vision & Aims

Croscombe Church of England Primary School Vision & Aims

Our vision for Croscombe Church of England school is ‘let your light shine’, underpinned by our Christian foundation and ethos.  This is taken from Jesus’ words in Matthew’s gospel:

“You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hid. 15 No one after lighting a lamp puts it under the bushel basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven."

Our vision encourages each child to achieve their full potential and be a shining light in their community, demonstrating compassion, respect, forgiveness, friendship and tolerance towards others.

 It is our mission that each child will have the opportunity to develop their own unique ‘light’, recognising and valuing their individual starting point and abilities, through our fulfilment of the following aims: 

  • Provide an inclusive environment in which pupils and staff can feel happy, valued and secure.
  • Nurture open minded, imaginative, curious and confident individuals who are well-prepared for their next stage in life.
  • Develop each child's esteem, self-discipline and awareness of the opinions and values of others.
  • Foster in each child an appreciation of their role within their community and the wider world, including their responsibility to care for the environment.
  • Provide a curriculum to enable each child to achieve their academic potential and access and enjoy a variety of creative and cultural experiences
  • Foster partnerships with parents and the wider community to ensure the Christian foundation is supported at home and life outside school. 

 Ethos Statement & how we are embedding it within our school

'Recognizing its historic foundation, the school will preserve and develop its religious character in accordance with the principles of the Church of England Voluntary Aided schools and in partnership with the churches at parish and diocesan level. The school aims to serve its community by providing an education that enables each child to develop their own unique light and God given talent, within the context of Christian belief and practice. It encourages an understanding of the meaning and significance of faith, and promotes Christian values through the experience it offers to all its pupils.'

Croscombe Church of England Primary School fosters this ethos and enables each child to ‘let their light shine’, throughout their school days. The outcome encouraged is that each child develops good Christian habits to support them in their relationship with God and their life ahead. This is underpinned by Croscombe Church of England’s RE curriculum, SMSC policy and practiced within the collective worship activities and the development of behaviours through Gem Powers.
