St Lawrence CofE Primary School

During 2021-22, as a school community we conducted a consultation into our school vision and values, considering what is at the core of our purpose. This consultation process involved us gathering the views of staff, governors, parents and children.

We thought carefully about the different aspects of our school our location, context, the changing needs of our children and their families, and what we want our children to leave with at the end of their seven years at St Lawrence. This is a Bible reference, from the book of Philippians in the New Testament.

This reflects the Christian distinctiveness of our Church of England school, whilst also being inclusive of all within our broad village school community.

When considering our vision and aims, there was a lot of discussion around every child being individual and unique, just like stars, and all being nurtured to make progress in many ways from their own individual starting points. The reference to the universe also reflects our global responsibilities.
