Our vision and values

Our Vision and Values

Our vision is;

Learning to Love, Learning to Live Together.

Our school family works together to create an environment for our children, parents, staff and governors where they are loved and flourish together.  

The vision is underpinned by the parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10). Jesus told the story to remind us of the importance of loving our neighbours. As a school we want everyone to feel known, valued and loved and to provide a broad balanced and relevant curriculum where their needs are fully met and they are able to thrive. 

We understand our neighbours to be local, national and global and encourage our children to show care for themselves, each other and our world.  

We believe that through supporting and lifting each other up as the good Samaritan did in the story Jesus told, we are loving our neighbour in action. 

To live out our vision in their daily lives our children are encouraged to ‘lend a helping hand.’  

Our philosophy is holistic, inclusive and centered in good pedagogical research. We believe the environment for children to flourish works best when rooted in our values of wisdom, joy, love, hope and respect.  

Our Ethos

• As a Church of England (VA) School, Meavy encourage the children to follow the principles of Christianity and a Christian lifestyle.
• We all have a unique and important role to play in our Meavy Family - growing and learning together.
• The school encourages each child to realise their full potential by the provision of a caring, ordered and happy environment; an environment conducive to spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development regardless of age, gender, race, creed or exceptional needs.
• As a school community we believe we have a responsibility to educate for the whole child. We recognise that all children are unique and bring their own special talents and gifts to our family. It is our job to recognise and celebrate these differences.
• The school believes that it has a duty to foster qualities of character such as conscientiousness, independence, self-confidence, honesty and consideration for others.

• At Meavy Primary School we are focused on providing nourishing relationships with our pupils. With this ethos, we seek to effectively promote and develop good behaviour and character. Our policy and practice is developed on relational approach.

Our School Values:

The school vision and the five school values are a golden thread which weave through our every day, creating a Christian ethos and environment where the children can feel happy and confident to experiment, explore and flourish. Through our visions and values, we aim to ‘Live life in all its fullness’ John 10:10.

We are part of the flourishing community of St Christopher's Multi Academy Trust whose vision is intentionally rooted in the Church of England’s Vision for Education (2016)

The Trust's vision is explored and expressed through our ‘CHRIST’ values. This is an acronym for :

Collaboration
