At the core of our school are our school values. Our main school value is RESPECT. Each letter represents a value that is lived out in all that we do; helping our children to understand and learn from God’s example.

Underpinning our school values of RESPECT is our Bible story The Good Samaritan, which is lived out every day. In God’s eyes, we are all loved as equals.

These are the Bible verses that link to each school value.

Responsibility

God spoke, “Let us make human beings in our image, and make them reflecting our nature. So, they can be responsible for the fish in the sea, the birds in the air, the cattle. And, yes, Earth itself, and every animal that moves on the face of Earth.” (Genesis 1:26-28)

Equality

“Love your neighbour as you would yourself, there is no commandment greater than this” (Mark 12:31)

Spirituality

“Be strong and courageous; do not be frightened or dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go” (Joshua 1:9)

Perseverance

Let us not become tired of doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people.” (Galatians 6:10)

Enthusiasm

“In everything you do, stay away from complaining and arguing so that no one can speak a word of blame against you… Shine like beacons of light.” (Philippians 2:14-15)

Commitment

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith” (Timothy 4:7)

Trust

“Two people are better than one. If one person falls, the other can reach out to help” (Ecclesiastes 4:9 – 10)
