Our distinctive Christian Ethos is encapsulated by our vision statement:

 

Slinfold C of E Primary School serves its rural Parish by promoting excellence in academic, practical and spiritual learning.

We believe that everyone is made in the image of God and aim to provide experiences of our diverse world; through high expectations, support, curiosity, challenge and a love of learning, enabling all to flourish.


 

 

Our Christian Values

 

Our Christian Values reflect the key values that we feel every member of our community needs to display on a daily basis.

 

They are Responsibility, Respect, Compassion & Courage.

 

Each of these values is linked to a Bible Story and these are being explored through daily collective worship.

 

 

 

 

The image of the hands holding planet Earth signifies 'Caring for each other'. This image captures the fact that we want all of our children to become good citizens of the future, aware of the fact that we only have one planet and that we need to look after it for future generations. We also need to care for each other and to build a compassionate and nurturing community that celebrates diversity and provides support in difficult times.

 

The image of the book represents 'Learning from each other'. This symbol demonstrates one of the ways in which we learn through the use of high-quality texts, as well as a way in which we record our learning. 

 

The image of the trophy signifies 'Achieving with each other'. Although we believe in collaborative achievements which is demonstrated throughout our reward systems, we want all children to strive to be the best that they can be and to achieve extraordinary things while at Slinfold.

 

Finally, the image of St Peter's Church represents 'Guided by God'. We enjoy strong links with St Peter's Church and really value the partnership and community that we have developed. When we face challenges with our learning or friendships, we know that God is there to guide us through the difficult times.
