Our Christian vision was written jointly by all stakeholders. It defines our core purpose and drives every action, policy and decision and shapes who we are. Our vision and values guide how we live together and enable all individuals to flourish. It is the role of our whole school community (staff, parents and carers, governors, church, children) to work together to achieve our vision.  

Our Vision

At Halewood Church of England Primary School, we are a family. 

Proverbs 22:6

"Train up a child in the way they should go, and when they are old they shall not depart from it."

Guided by our Christian values, we empower every child to grow academically, emotionally and spiritually.
Inspired by Jesus’s example, we encourage our children and staff to be defined not by success or failure, but by the positive impact they have on others.
Through exemplary teaching and fostering a life-long love of learning, we equip our children with the confidence, resilience and resourcefulness to face life’s challenges and make a meaningful difference in a diverse and ever-changing world.

How does our vision link to our context?

Academic growth is important to our families – Our families value academic success, and we share their commitment to nurturing each child's intellectual potential through high-quality teaching.

Emotional growth – With a growing number of children requiring emotional support, we are dedicated to fostering their emotional well-being, ensuring they feel secure, understood, and capable of managing their emotions effectively.

Spiritual growth – As fewer families attend church regularly, we aim for our school to be a place where children can experience spiritual development, encouraging them to explore faith, values, and meaning in their lives.

Inspired by Jesus’s example – Children’s Biblical knowledge and knowledge of Jesus is of high importance to our staff. We are committed to helping children learn about the teachings of Jesus and the wisdom of the Bible, ensuring they are guided by Christian values in their decisions and actions.

Not to be defined by success or failure – In a world where children often feel pressured to succeed at all costs, we emphasise that true fulfilment comes from the positive impact they have on others, not just personal achievements.

We equip our children with the confidence to make a meaningful impact on a diverse and ever-changing world – Our families hold high aspirations for their children, as do we. We aim to cultivate individuals who are prepared to contribute positively to their communities and the wider world.

Make a meaningful impact on a diverse and ever-changing world – Our children are predominantly white British, from affluent backgrounds. We want to ensure our children are prepared for the world, and ready to make a difference. 

We equip our children with the resilience and resourcefulness to face life’s challenges – Recognising that many children struggle with setbacks, we focus on developing their resilience and resourcefulness, helping them navigate difficulties with a positive outlook and an understanding of the diversity in the world around them.
