Vision & Values
‘Learning by Loving Unconditionally’
‘I pray that you may feel and understand, with all the Saints, how long, how wide, how deep
and how high God's love for you is.’
Ephesians 3:18
In 2024, we revisited our vision in order to ensure it was theologically rooted and up to date with our ever-changing and diverse community:
The Governors have therefore agreed, that from 2024/2025, our vision will be:
‘God’s unconditional love for all drives us to create a compassionate, inspiring and nurturing environment in which every person can flourish and learn’.
This can be summed up in the phrase - ‘Learning by Loving Unconditionally’.
To achieve this vision, the following are our key values, which underpin all aspects of our life together:
Learning by Loving Unconditionally with Compassion
Learning by Loving Unconditionally with Perseverance
Learning by Loving Unconditionally with Hope
Learning by Loving Unconditionally with Respect
Learning by Loving Unconditionally with Trust
Learning by Loving Unconditionally with Wisdom
As we launch the new version of our Vision, each class will create their own presentation of our values:
- Reception: Love
- Year 1: Trust
- Year 2: Perseverance
- Year 3: Respect
- Year 4: Hope
- Year 5: Compassion
- Year 6: Wisdom
As a Church of England school, All Saints’ was established as an act of faith in God as revealed by Jesus Christ and in an act of faithful mission to all those living in the parish of All Saints Church Child’s Hill.
More than 160 years later we continue to learn with the unconditional love of God. Fundamental to a Christian understanding of God is that, in Christ, God shows his love for all. We are, therefore, a school founded as a Church school with a Christian Ethos towards all people, regardless of faith or ethnicity.
This passage reflects that as a school committed to the highest standards of education our desire is for everyone: students, staff, families and the wider community, to come to know and comprehend the full breadth of knowledge. It also highlights, as a Church of England school, that even more important than the curriculum is that every member of our community should be shown the love of God in the way we care for them as individuals and enable them to flourish - to live their lives to the full.
