Vision and Values

Our School Vision

We Achieve                       We Believe                  We Care

We aim to make everyone's time at Crowton an enjoyable and rewarding experience which is full of happy memories. Every child is provided with the opportunity to develop academically, creatively, socially, spiritually and physically, including a sense of responsibility for themselves and others.  

Our aims are directed towards preparing each child for life beyond Crowton. To accomplish this we aspire to:

• Offer an education based upon Christian aims and values.
• Develop a supportive school and classroom climate and ethos which build a sense of connectedness, focus and purpose, the acceptance of emotion and vulnerability, warm relationships and the celebration of difference.
• Provide a curriculum that is; relevant to each child’s experience, balanced across a range of experiences that make an equal contribution to the child’s development and broad in the range of opportunities and experiences which it provides.
• Ensure equal opportunities for every child to realise his/her maximum potential, spiritually, emotionally, physically, socially, creatively and academically.
• Develop high self-expectations and a delight in achieving, encouraging the acquisition of self-responsibility, confidence and independence in learning within a secure, happy working environment.
• Promote respect for the abilities, skills, feelings and needs of others; help children to respect how people are different and celebrate diversity.
• Prepare each child for the opportunities and responsibilities of adult life, enabling them to make a positive contribution to society.

Our Christian Values

At Crowton Christ Church C.E. Primary School we offer a distinctly Christian education in an inclusive environment where we encourage all children and young people to learn, enquire and grow. The distinctive nature of our approach to education is embedded in everything that we do.

Our Christian values are explicitly taught in collective worship and referred to throughout the school day. Children and staff of all faiths and none are welcome at our school and our aim is to promote understanding and tolerance between those of different faith traditions. We are a family that works to ensure everyone thrives, with the love of learning and Jesus’ teachings at the heart of all we do. From a curriculum that encourages pupils to ask questions and find answers, to a community that strives to make the world a better place; together we show each other how to love God, love ourselves and love each other.

We focus on six values each academic year (one each half term) and cover all of our Christian values over a two-year cycle. Each value becomes the focus of our collective worship and a thread which permeates through all areas of our school life. We discuss links with the church calendar and link in songs and prayers with the theme.
