At Allithwaite CE Primary School, A Place of Love, Light, and Learning. We view every child as an individual, filled with awe, wonder, and the potential to change the world.
You are the light of the world (Matthew 5:14-16) Our commitment to nurturing each childs unique self is at the heart of our school, creating an environment where needs are met, resilience is built and learning thrives. We endeavour to create a sanctuary of love where light illuminates the path to learning. Show courage, be strong.
Everything you do should be done in love (1 Corinthians 16:13-14) Our School Christian values of Friendship, Courage, Hope, Creativity, Responsibility and Wisdom , underpin all elements of our school life. We relate our values to our relationships, within our play, through the curriculum and in our enrichment activities.
We enable children to find their place within our community as well as gaining a sense of their responsibilities as part of a world community. Some examples of this can be seen in our Allithwaite Buddies, in our School Council and in our charity works for Children of Hope in Uganda.
