--- title: "Values" url: "https://st-marys-mucklestone.staffs.sch.uk/about-us/values" school: "St Mary’s CE Primary School" --- # Values ## St Mary’s CE Primary School Values Our aim at St. Mary’s is to be a truly inclusive school where children’s academic achievement and personal development are equally important. As a Church of England Primary School we have a strong Christian ethos which underpins this vision. To help us achieve this vision, the children were asked to think about our school motto **‘Living, Loving and Learning in God’s Care’** We have three core values which support our vision: **Love** **Hope** **Wisdom** Threading through these three core values we will have - **Gratitude** – Knowing that we are more fortunate than many other people around the world and appreciating what we have. - **Thoughtfulness** – Being able to think of others and making wise choices. - **Forgiveness** – Knowing that everyone can make a mistake and that saying sorry is the first step to putting things right, as well as being tolerant and understanding of others. - **Kindness** – We are all part of one school family and know that looking out for one another is important. - **Perseverance** – When something is difficult we don’t give, we try again and work with others to find a solution. - **Courage** – Life is full of challenges and it is important to be brave so that we can try new things. - **Creativity** – We need to think about tasks or problems in a new way. We can use our imagination and generate new ideas. - **Respect and Reverence** – To see something or someone that is spiritual in nature. To show empathy, kindness, honesty and loyalty to others. In school, our system of rewards is based upon these values. Children who model these values can be given our christian value certificate on a Friday. As a school, we celebrate these values in the classroom, on the playground and in whole-school collective worship of in celebration assemblies. ### Strategy Document Mrs Mannering and the Governors of St. Mary’s CE Primary School have worked with representatives of our whole school community (children, parents, staff, governors & the local church congregation) to develop a clear vision of how we see our school developing over the upcoming years and beyond.
