Ethos, Vision and Values

Our Christian Ethos

As well as being a thriving, successful and inclusive school, we are a Church of England Primary School and exist to further the work of Christ through high quality relationships, teaching and learning. This fundamental truth is the essence of all that we are and all that we do.

We believe that all pupils, staff, parents and governors are part of a community of learning, where standards and expectations are high and there is a real purpose in being part of the family of Christ.

The MSJ tree of life and our spiritual values

As our illustration below shows, just like a fruit tree needs sunlight, food, good soil and water to give healthy fruit; we need God’s love, our family, friends and community to help us grow in the fruits of the spirit.

‘But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law’     Galatians Chapter 5 v.22

The diagram below summarises and links our core spiritual values with our aspirations for all pupils to be their “blossoming best” in all aspects of their lives:
