Christian School Vision and Values

What does our vision mean?

Our school vision means that we believe that all children are unique and special. Every child will grow and develop at their own speed and every child is different but beautiful.

We love all children and want all children to love learning so we make the curriculum and every day learning as relatable and as engaging as we can.

We all treat everyone with the dignity and respect they deserve ensuring that we listen to everyone and take the time to do so.

Our vision and values are at the core of everything we do. They underpin our teaching and learning, and provide an environment which prepares our pupils as confident, happy citizens.

At St Richard’s we develop the ‘holistic’ child by providing a wide range of activities and learning opportunities that cater for all needs and strengths of our pupils—sports clubs, music lessons, art activities, outside learning.

Love one another as I have loved you

“I give you a new commandment: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.”

John 13-24

Children are loved and cared for at St Richard’s.

We support each child’s individual needs so they grow and flourish.

We provide a broad and balanced curriculum that encourages children to open their eyes to the world around them and inspire them to be what ever they want to be!

Love to Learn, Learn to Love

“I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.”

John 10:10

Learning at St Richard’s opens children's eyes to the world.

We inspire children to be creative.

Our children flourish through a variety of rich experiences.

We encourage our children to be tolerant and respectful of all those around them and through our Religious Education we teach children about a range of faiths and we welcome everyone to St Richard’s with open arms.

Everyone, Everytime

“For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ.”

1 Corinthians 12:12

At St Richards ALL are welcome.

We treat everyone with dignity and respect.

We are a caring community that celebrates diversity, opens minds and develops aspiration.

Core School Values

Our 6 core school values are Friendship, Caring, Honesty, Forgiveness, Respect, Trust. Values underpin our Vision and Ethos. We teach children about values through assemblies, lessons, by being active role models and recognising children who show the values.
