Vision & Values

Our School Christian Vision

‘We are God’s handiwork, created in Christ to do good works.’

Ephesians 2:10

‘What you are is God’s gift to you, what you become is your gift to God.’

At Hesketh-with-Becconsall All Saints Church of England Primary School, we believe every child and member of staff is God’s unique handiwork, created with love and purpose. Guided by Christ, we nurture hearts and minds so that all can flourish and thrive, feel that they belong, shine their light and live out the good works God has prepared for them. This will lead to our school becoming a place of joy, hope, and excellence, where every individual grows in wisdom, character and faith, and where together we make a difference to our community and God’s world.

Our Mission

• To provide a rich, inclusive education where each child is recognised as God’s creation, celebrated for their gifts, and supported in their growth.

• To place Christian values at the heart of all we do, enabling children to show honesty, determination, responsibility, loyalty, respect, friendship and love.

• To inspire a love of learning, creativity, and curiosity, equipping pupils to make a positive difference in their community and the wider world.

• To walk together in faith, prayer, and service, encouraging all to follow Christ’s example and love each other as I have loved you. (John 15:12)

Our Christian Values

“My command is this: Love each other asI have loved you.” John 15:12

Our Christian Values are rooted in scripture and are threaded through the daily life of our school, our decision making and everything that we do.

 Love is at the heart of our seven Christian Values, and all members of our school community aim to ‘live out’ our Christian Values in our actions and choices.  Love is underpinned by six other carefully selected values:

·             Honesty ‘Tell the truth to each other.’ Zechariah 8:16

·             Respect ‘Do to others as you would have them do to you.’ Matthew 7:12

·             Determination ‘I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.’ Philippians 4:13

·             Friendship ‘Encourage one another and build each other up.’ 1 Thessalonians 5:11

·             Responsibility ‘I give you a new commandment: love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. This is how all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.’ John 13:34-35

·             Loyalty ‘Jesus said, “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?” ’Luke 6:46
