Jesus colours our life, our love, our learning.

"I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." John 10:10

At St George’s CE Primary School our vision is that every child carries Christian values with them into their daily lives. We nurture children to grow into confident, kind, thoughtful, and selfless individuals, prepared to contribute positively to the world around them. Our vision is evident throughout our school – in the way our children learn, play, and interact with one another.

Our school motto is: ‘Jesus colours our love, our life, our learning’. We live out this vision in all that we do, ensuring that every child experiences fullness of life and is equipped to flourish now and in the future.

Our vision is rooted in the Gospel of John, particularly chapter 10: “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” Guided by this teaching, we aim to enable children to embrace life in its fullness, preparing them to thrive in an ever-changing world. Our school vision is underpinned by our six Christian values – Compassion, Love, Truthfulness, Thankfulness, Forgiveness, and Hope – which shape who we are and who our children become.

At St. George's we have a fantastic ethos and worship group that help with planning and taking collective worship; as well as being responsible for delivering their own termly collective worship to the whole school. Our worship leaders apply and are appointed to carry out important tasks and roles within the spiritual life of the school. They bring us together in prayer; they help to plan collective worship assemblies; and support adults and other children in their class collective worship.

We often share and compare our experiences and provide our children with a window to the world. This is done on a weekly basis through 'Picture News'. This is located in the school hall, where a current topic in the news is discussed with a though provoking question that children can respond to on Post-It notes. A lot of the time the children will look at the injustice behind these news stories and think about how they can be advocates for change - often resulting in charity work. As well as this, each week the news story is linked with one of the British Values that is also displayed with the Picture News so the children have a greater understanding of these important values. Please see the school Newsletter for the weekly 'Picture News' updates).
