What does it mean to be a Church School? At Clipston Endowed VC Primary School, in keeping with our mission statement, everyone is valued as an individual and helped to flourish in their own unique way within a Christian environment. Our Christian Vision, Every Child Matters to God is at the core of everything we do.
Through explicit teaching about Jesus and the Church, and the development of prayer and worship in school, we provide daily experiences where children live the gospel values; have respect for the opinions and beliefs of others, and grow spiritually.
We see this as our core purpose, and we strive to ensure that each child fulfils their God-given potential - academically, socially, emotionally and spiritually. We are lucky to have very close links with our Parish Church which is only a short walk away.
The children regularly attend All Saints Church, at least once each term, as our whole school family joins together in celebrating significant liturgical moments in the year. Reverend Tom is familiar to the children as a regular visitor to our school, delivering whole school worship and supporting our church services. Be Kind ~ Be Your Best ~ Be Happy
