Our Vision, Values & Strategic Plan
Our Vision:
We ASPIRE for all our children to be confident, happy and caring individuals, to love as Jesus shows us and to develop a love of learning, living responsibly in God’s world.
Our Christian vision is underpinned by Jesus’ example of love for all and is summarised in 1 Corinthians 16:14
‘Let all that you do be done in love.’
Our Values:
To help achieve this vision, we follow six core values:
Aspiration
We aspire to love one another as Jesus shows us and to be the best we can be.
Strength
We believe we can be better by being courageous enough to overcome the 'ow' moments.
Perseverance
We keep on trying even when we find things difficult.
Integrity
We are consistent, whole and honest in what we say, think and do.
Responsibility
We show love by taking care of ourselves, others and God's wonderful world.
Empathy
We see things from other perspectives which help us to be more respectful, tolerant and loving towards them.
Our Strategic Plan
At the end of their time at Great Waltham Primary School, we aspire for all our children to have:
- Developed a strong work ethic both for their own benefit and the benefit of others.
- Developed a strong set of practical, social and emotional life skills.
- Developed, through the teaching of our Christian and British values, self-respect and respect for others.
- Gained the skills to work independently, either on their own or as part of a group, and take responsibility for both for themselves and others.
To achieve this Great Waltham School will:
- Ensure equal opportunities for all.
- Work in a partnership with parents / carers, the local church, community and partner schools.
- Provide a safe and secure environment where children will feel confident, able to learn and experience success.
- Plan and deliver a relevant curriculum which is inclusive, challenging and creative.
To help children achieve our strategic plan we aim to provide the highest standards of education by teaching our children to:
- Love learning by developing an enquiring mind.
- Love and celebrate differences.
- Love and live as Jesus showed us.
- Love ourselves and others.
- Love and respect the world God has provided us.
