At St. John's CE Primary School, the quote above from Matthew's gospel inspires everything we do as a school family. We have a strong vision that all of our school community can sit underneath this vision. If we live out these values in our daily lives, then all of our school family will fulfil our vision.
Our values are inspired from the Holy Book: Faith for God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16 Love Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. John 4:8 Honesty Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.
John 3:18 Friendship Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends. John 15:13 Trust Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. Mark 11:24 Forgiveness Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you. Ephesians 4:32
