School Values

OCTOBER 2022 - one aspect of the SDP for 2022-23 involves the school revisiting our vision and values - this part of the school website will therefore be updated in due course.

Rushbury CE Primary School

‘Where a love of learning grows’

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people

and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

Mission Statement

Jesus said,

‘Love one another just as I love you’  John 15 v12 

‘Come live your life the way God wants you to’

Rushbury CE Primary School is committed to high-quality learning for all, within the values and virtues of the Christian tradition. We recognise and celebrate the uniqueness of each child. We support all to achieve their God-given potential, care for others and have a sense of the Divine.

At Rushbury CE Primary School we aim to:

· make our learning inspiring, challenging and fun

· achieve our best

· celebrate success

· treat ourselves and others with respect

· take responsibility for our learning, behaviour and our school

Equality and Diversity

At Rushbury CE Primary School  we are committed to ensuring equality of education and opportunity for all pupils, staff, parents and carers receiving services from the school, irrespective of race, gender, disability, faith or religion or socio-economic background. We aim to develop a culture of inclusion and diversity in which all those connected to the school feel proud of their identity and able to participate fully in school life.

Our Christian Values

‘Love one another just as I love you’  John 15 v12 

At Rushbury CE Primary school,  we enable the children to reach their God given potential. We broaden their horizons, extend their interests, nurture their talents and lift aspirations so that they can reach their God given potential. Alongside this, we give them a sense of being part of something bigger than themselves, the world and the many opportunities within it.

The school operates an approach of ‘Christian Value of the Month’. 15 Christian values have been identified and are represented in an interactive ‘fish and boat’  display in the school hall. The monthly focus is explored in a variety of different ways but particularly through whole school worship and class/year worship.

Please follow the link below to the National Society and a speech by the Rt Revd and Rt Hon Dr Rowan Williams (Archbishop of Canterbury 2002 to 2012), that we feel encapsulates our school’s Christian vision, values and ethos.

British Values

Rushbury school’s ethos promotes the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, and mutual respect and tolerance for those with different faiths and beliefs; and encourage children to respect other people, with particular regard to the protected characteristics set out in the Equality Act 2010.
