OUR CHRISTIAN VISION

 

Unlocking every child’s potential as a unique child of God.

THEOLOGICAL ROOTED

We seek to reflect aspects of God’s character and the fullness of life that He wishes for all human beings. 

Unlocking every child’s potential speaks of the school’s desire for all to flourish. “May the Lord give you increase, both you and your children. May you be blessed by the Lord, who made heaven and earth” (Psalm 115:14-15). We aim for excellence in learning – to enable and encourage pupils to pursue God-given “wisdom and instruction, understanding of words of insight and instruction in doing what is right and just and fair” (Proverbs 1:2-3).

Our hope is to unlock every person’s potential ( 'We are God’s children… what we will be has not yet been revealed' - 1 John 3.2). Our aim is to enable all children and adults in our community to achieve their full potential by providing experiences, opportunities and encounters to ensure they flourish.

As well as their intellectual development, the school is concerned for the children’s emotional, social and spiritual development and we want love and well-being for all in our school family and strive to create a loving environment where everyone belongs and everyone’s uniqueness is celebrated – “God’s special possession” (Peter 2:9). We recognise each person is unique - God has endowed each person individually as He desires (1 Cor. 12.11) so we celebrate the uniqueness of each child - “God’s special possession” (1 Peter 2:9) and foster their emotional, social and spiritual development.

Our vision statement refers to being a ‘child of God’. This reflects Mountnessing’s ongoing commitment to our whole school family - “So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, Our faith in Jesus Christ confirms our identity as a child of God.” (Galatians 3:26, 1 John 3.1). To this end we strive to create a loving environment where everyone belongs and everyone’s wellbeing is sacred.

In summary, our aim at Mountnessing Primary School is for all pupils, staff, governors and our wider community to achieve their full potential in all areas of school life. As Jesus promises ‘life... in all its fullness’ (John 10.10), we seek fullness of life for all.

This is underpinned by Ephesians 3.17 - 19 'May Christ dwell in your hearts through faith, that being rooted and grounded in love, you may have the power to comprehend, with all the saints, what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and know the love of Christ that surpasses all knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.'

Our Christian Vision allows the pupils and adults in our school to flourish. Every member of our school community is a child of God, and therefore the vision applies to us all. The Christian vision is the driver behind all decision making in school. Our curriculum is carefully considered with our vision in mind and pupils are given opportunities to extend their learning further, through curriculum and spiritual enhancement to unlock their potential. We hope that our vision supports us to transform our pupils' lives by giving them opportunities to try new things, engage with the local community, ensure a sense of belonging and inclusion in all areas of school.

 

       

We ensure well being is at the centre of all we do, because happy, regulated children and staff who feel safe and loved can thrive in school.
