Vision and Values
Our Vision
We want St Andrew’s to be a beacon of our community that inspires adults and children alike with outstanding learning and teaching. Where children develop a thirst and love of learning that will be lifelong. We want St Andrew’s to be a school where children learn to love their neighbour as themselves and ‘Where young minds grow and young hearts learn to care’ through a thoughtful and wide-ranging development of pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development within the Christian faith. We want our values to be our children’s virtues.

Ways that we Live Our Values Everyday:
- Focus on a value a month
- All worships are value focused
- Learning Themes are structured around the values
- Our behaviour management systems are designed to celebrate positive values in a collective way
- Children have ‘Value Passports’ in which children are challenged to live our values at home and in the community
- End of year reports focus on children’s aptitude towards the values
- Each class has a ‘class charter’ in which they personalise their age appropriate ‘responsibilities’ according to the ‘rights of the child’
