Vision and Values

Our Christian Mission, Vision and Values

"I have set you an example that you should do as I have done."

John 13:15

Our Mission
  • To provide a safe, happy, inclusive, deeply Christian learning environment that nurtures the preciousness of each individual child
  • To empower all children to fulfil the unique potential of their creation: emotionally, academically, physically, socially and spiritually
  • To provide our pupils with memorable experiences that ignite curiosity about our wondrous world, inspire ambition to protect its beauty, and foster within them a lifelong love of learning

Our Vision

Our Vision at Loxley C of E Community Primary School is rooted in

Jesus' teachings from 'The Parable of Christ the Sower':

We will provide the good ground for our children to flourish into confident young learners who embody Christian values and possess all the knowledge, skills and growth mindset they need, in order to lead happy, fruitful lives and to have a positive impact on their communities and the wider world.

Our Christian Values: Providing Roots and Bearing Fruit

In line with the Church of England's vision for education, 'Deeply Christian, Serving the Common Good', Loxley C of E Community Primary School underpins all learning with Christian values: COMMUNITY, DIGNITY, HOPE, JOY, PEACE, WISDOM, JUSTICE, GENEROSITY, THANKFULNESS, COURAGE, FORGIVENESS, FRIENDSHIP, RESPECT, TRUST, PERSEVERANCE and COMPASSION.  

These values are carefully interwoven throughout our curriculum and through our programme of daily Collective Worship.

We also regularly reward and celebrate the embodiment of these deeply Christian values through our 'Catch Me' card system of positive behaviour reinforcement.

RESPECT

"Do to others as you would have them to do you."

(Matthew 7:12)

Jesus taught the importance of respect through the Golden Rule: "Do to others as you would have them do to you" (Matthew 7:12). He showed kindness, compassion, and understanding to everyone, regardless of their background or status. In Loxley CofE Primary this value of respect is central to creating a caring, inclusive environment. Children are encouraged to treat one another with kindness, listen actively, and show empathy, just as Jesus did. Respecting others fosters positive relationships, promotes fairness, and nurtures a sense of community where everyone feels valued and supported in their learning and growth.

COMMUNITY

"Live in harmony with one another."

(Romans 12:16)

Jesus viewed his followers as one big family - all welcome who would come and learn from him with none to be excluded. When Jesus told his story of 'the Good Samaritan', he challanged the prejudices of his hearers, making them link again about what kind people are commendable and what kind of actions create shared life and strong relationships. As a Church of England (C of E) school, we serve our local community and all children are welcome to learn in our caring Christian family, regardless of their beliefs, race, gender, age or ability. We pride ourselves on the strength and quality of our relationships at all levels in our small unique loving school community.

FORGIVENESS

"Just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you must also forgive others."

(Colossians 3:13)

The value of forgiveness plays a key role in creating a compassionate and supportive environment at Loxley CofE Primary School. It encourages our children to practice kindness and understanding in their relationships with others. It teaches them that, just as God forgives, we too should forgive those who may have hurt or upset us. This fosters a sense of community, where children learn to resolve conflicts peacefully, show empathy, and grow spiritually. By embracing forgiveness, children are empowered to move forward with a heart full of grace, building stronger friendships and a nurturing school environment.

HOPE

"May the God of hope fill you with joy and peace."

(Romans 15:13)

Christians believe that Jesus' death was not the end but the gateway to new life.  The gospels tell of Jesus conquering death and offering the hope of eternal life to all who put their trust in him.  They record eye witness accounts of the risen Jesus ascending from earth and returning to heaven.  This is a message of hope beyond the limits of this life, which the Bible describes as 'eternal hope'.  At Loxley C of E Community Primary School, we passionately encourage our children to find the hope and confidence within themselves to adopt a growth mind-set approach to all they do in school and in their wider lives, enabling their continued success and positive contribution to the wider world.

PERSERVERANCE

"I can do all things through Him who strengthens me."

(Philippians 4:13)

Jesus exemplified perseverance by enduring hardships with unwavering faith, from His time in the desert to His ultimate sacrifice on the cross. He faced challenges but remained steadfast, trusting in God's strength to carry Him through. In Loxley CofE Primary School, this value of perseverance is a powerful reminder to students that, with faith, they can overcome difficulties, grow from setbacks, and keep going, no matter the obstacles. It encourages resilience, kindness, and reliance on God’s support in both academic challenges and personal growth, fostering a nurturing and determined learning environment.

TRUST

"My God is my strength in whom I trust."

(Psalm 18:2)

Jesus embodied this trust throughout His life, relying on His Father’s strength and direction, even in moments of uncertainty and challenge. For Loxley CofE Primary Schooll, this value of trust is central. Children are encouraged to trust in God’s love and support, as well as in each other. The teachings of Jesus inspire students to build trusting relationships, embrace faith in their abilities, and turn to God for strength in all situations. Trust, therefore, becomes a foundation for both personal growth and a caring, supportive school community.
