Vision and Values | Wolborough C of E Nursery and Primary School

“Let all that you do be done with love” 1 Corinthians 16:14

Our school’s vision is grounded in a clear theology, firmly rooted in a Christian narrative. The command to love is at the heart of what it means to be a Christian. Jesus preached that to love God and others are the greatest commands. The call to live a life marked by love is a consistent message found throughout scriptures. When the apostle Paul wrote to the church of Corinth he instructed them to do everything in love.

Love is the key value that Christian foundations are built upon – it lies at the root of all other values. This translates in how we promote an ethos of care and concern which embraces all members of the school community and beyond – it is at the heart of what we do. We recognise that God the Father is Love. When we show His Love, God lives in us.

Our vision of Love underpins what we do in school. We share a love of learning, love for one another and love for the world that God made. We recognise that love is not always easy but we trust in God to give us strength. We believe that through a focus on love by working together as part of a strong and supportive family, we can all achieve more – socially, emotionally and academically.
