Working together, with Jesus beside us, to achieve our full potential. Here at Gnosall St Lawrence CE Primary Academy and Pre-School, we are proud to be a Church of England school, strongly linked with St Lawrence church here in our village.
We were graded outstanding in our most recent SIAMs inspection which noted that our pupils enthusiasm and positive attitudes to learning shines through in all that they do. Here at Gnosall St Lawrence we enable all pupils and adults to achieve their potential, as part of a larger community, working and growing together, with Jesus beside us.
We pray that our children's lives will be filled with truly good qualities and we believe God's Spirit will empower our children for action. Our children will be humble, considering others before themselves (Philippians) and embrace their roles as courageous advocates in our local, national and global communities.
We will provide all with a lifelong toolbox in a safe environment so that we will shine as lights in the world . provide a Christian environment where relationships and behaviour are built on our values of respect, honesty and kindness
