Our School Vision, Values, Spirituality Capacities and Key Principles Queen's Park Church of England and United Reformed Church Primary School Vision, Core Christian Values, Spirituality Capactities and Core Curriculum Principles Our vision for Queen's Park C.E./U.R.C. Primary School for with God, Everything is Possible (Matthew 19:26) Through our continued service to our community and rooted in our Christian Values, the opportunities we provide inspire our children and adults at our school to learn, to grow and to flourish.
We are committed to developing our children into confident individuals who make a positive difference through developing a respect for themselves, each other and the world around them. For with God, everything is possible. (Matthew 19:26). We encourage our children at Queen's Park to be risk-takers, to reason and solve problems, to comprehend and apply, to analyse and evaluate.
We want all our pupils to relish challenges, embrace their mistakes as part of the learning process, value the importance of effort, have the perseverance to complete challenging tasks, respond carefully to feedback and take inspiration from others.
