Our Vision and Values
Our Vision for our Children
We want every child to be the best person that they can possibly be and to know that they have a valuable place in God’s world. The whole school and church community are committed to working together towards this end, so each child can flourish academically, socially and spiritually.
Our vision flows from the Church of England’s vision for education, which emphasises the development of wisdom, knowledge and skills; hope and aspiration; community and living well together; and dignity and respect. Together, we embrace the abundant possibilities of ‘life in all its fullness’.
Our Core Values
At St Werburgh’s, our values shape who we are and how we live, learn, and grow together:
- Inclusivity – celebrating and welcoming everyone
- Integrity – doing what is right, even when no one is watching
- Compassion – showing kindness and empathy to all
- Courage – standing up for what is right and facing challenges with resilience
- Excellence – striving to be our best in all we do
- Curiosity – wondering, exploring, and discovering with open minds
The St Werburgh’s Way
This is how we live out our values every day:
- We welcome everyone and make sure no one is left out.
- We speak and act with honesty, fairness, and respect.
- We care for others, offer help where it’s needed, and build a kind, supportive community.
- We try our best, persevere when things are hard, and stand up for justice.
- We take pride in our work and celebrate others, always aiming to be our best selves.
- We ask questions, explore new ideas, and keep learning every day.
In this way we ensure that all our children are happy, confident and fully prepared to enjoy life, whilst providing them with the skills needed to make their own unique contribution to God’s world.
