ETHOS & VALUES

As a church school we enjoy a close relationship with St Peters Church, BirtstallSt Peter's works with confidence from a Christian foundation to provide the best possible education for its pupils.  We aim to:

 

  1. provide a place where children encounter a "living faith" through the value placed on each individual and to create an atmosphere and an ethos which reflects mutual care and concern and a clear expression of Christian values.
     

  2. to provide a whole range of curriculum experiences and learning opportunities which will enable a child to learn and grow, acquire skills and knowledge, find fulfilment and pleasure in the things he/she achieves and then eventually be able to play his/her part in the adult world.
     

  3. to maintain the school as a place of honour and high standards, where children are encouraged to think and discover for themselves; where the love of life and learning and the appreciation of beauty can be shared and developed within a happy and peaceful atmosphere of love, care and respect.

We want our school to be a happy, caring, challenging and purposeful place for all who enter.

 

We think that children will learn best when they are happy at their work - we aim to give each child interesting and relevant work with positive feedback.

 

We know that children who learn best are those who are attentive, enthusiastic, kind, polite and respectful.  Developing these habits supports children in becoming independent and knowledgeable.
