Ethos Statement
Our school aims to serve the community by providing an education of the highest quality within the context of Christian belief and practice. We encourage an understanding of the meaning and significance of faith, and promote Christian values through the experience we offer to all our pupils.
We aim to give each member of our school community an experience of Christian life and worship.
We will preserve and develop the school’s religious character in accordance with the principles of the Church of England and in partnership with the Church at parish and diocesan level.
Vision
We are a small, friendly, family village school with a Christian ethos. Our inclusive character values the excellent relationships between the school, parents and the community in which each child is treated as an individual and is valued. We encourage children to work together valuing relationships they make as lifelong learners. We provide creative first hand learning opportunities that lead to high quality education with children at the centre of all we do.
Values
At Lepton Church of England Primary School, we have a set of 12 Christian Values that shapes our practice of education. The Christian tradition gives our values content and the story of Jesus that gives our values moral substance.
