St George’s School  

"Let your light shine!"  

Matthew (5:16)

"You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they might see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven."

 
Our School Vision:  

To create a caring, safe and inspiring learning community which values every child and adult as an individual, recognises their unique talents and supports and empowers them to fulfil their God given potential. We place an emphasis on emotional, social and physical wellbeing and the responsibility and connection we have to others. We want our children to leave us shining bright; feeling confident and enthusiastic about their future.

At St George's we encourage all children to let their light shine and to encourage the light in others. Our vision was chosen through discussions with children, staff, parents and governors. We felt our vision was one that would resonate with those of Christian faith, those of other faiths and those with no faith as symbolism of light is at the heart of many cultural and family traditions.

Above all, the book of Genesis begins as God creates light. Light thus acts as a basis from which all life will grow and thrive, just as our vision encourages children and adults to flourish.

Our Core Christian Values

Our ethos is based on our core Christian Values of Kindness, Thankfulness and Perseverance. 

These values may be supported and shared by Christians and non-Christians alike. We learn in depth about our values in collective worship, through prayer and Bible stories. We actively apply them throughout all aspects of school life.
