With guidance from our Lancashire County Council School Advisor and in consultation with pupils and a working party of parents, governors and staff, we developed our Vision Statement in September 2019: Learning together, rooted in God, pupils at St Lawrence Church of England Primary School are easy to distinguish by the personal qualities they present.
They are happy , confident, articulate children with a love of learning and a sense of service , who recognise and celebrate their own individuality and that of other members of our community. They are generous, kind and welcoming; they are forgiving and understand justice . With God by their side, they face the world with resilience , integrity and joy .
Our Vision Statement represents our school vision and the aspirations we have for our children. The words in bold are our key values. These values form the basis of all we do in school and help our children to be responsible and considerate members of society. This is taken from John 15: Verse 5 Jesus said, I am the vine, you are the branches.
If you remain rooted in me, and I in you, you will bear much fruit.
