English Bicknor C of E Primary School
School Vision
'Through God's love, we learn and flourish together'.
We aim to create a kind, caring and nurturing learning environment that inspires all children and enables them to succeed. We support and encourage each other to do our very best in whatever we choose to do.
Our vision is firmly rooted in 1 Corinthians 16:14 - 'Let all that you do be done in love'.
School Ethos
We are two schools with one shared vision, committed to our partnership, yet retaining our separate identities and individuality.
Across both schools we are developing a culture where all members of the learning community work together and respect one another. We encourage children to appreciate their environment and develop an understanding of their impact upon the local community and the wider world.
Our children are at the centre of all that we do and we listen carefully to their opinions and perspectives to ensure that learning has purpose and meaning. We motivate and inspire children to reach their full individual potential by offering a broad, exciting and highly creative experience. The staff are forward thinking, innovative and adaptable; keen to explore teaching approaches and projects that will stimulate the enquiring minds of our children.
We value the holistic well-being of our children, through fostering a caring attitude, with a positive commitment to the ethos and values of a Church of England School. Our open culture of communication throughout the school community ensures all views are valued. We provide a safe environment which develops confidence and independence within our children to prepare them for a life in an ever changing world.
