Vision & Values

Welcome to Radwinter CofE (VA) Primary School, a Church of England Voluntary Aided School dedicated to nurturing every child in a caring, happy, and secure environment. Our vision and values are the heart of all we do, guiding our community as we grow and learn together to embrace life in all its fullness.

Our Vision: Growing and Learning Together to Embrace Life in All Its Fullness

Inspired by John 10:10 — “I came to give life – Life in all its fullness” — our vision reflects a Christian understanding that God's love is for everyone. We recognise that every child is unique, with individual talents, needs, and a valuable contribution to make.

At Radwinter CofE (VA) Primary School, we are committed to:

• Providing a broad, balanced, and challenging curriculum where every child is seen as a unique learner, making exceptional progress from their starting points.
• Offering a wide range of memorable learning experiences, both inside and beyond the classroom, that inspire a sense of awe and wonder for the world around us.
• Fostering spiritual growth through daily collective worship and strong links with our local Church community, enabling children to develop their own values, beliefs, and appreciation of cultural diversity.
• Ensuring the wellbeing and happiness of every child are at the core of our work, with committed, caring, and approachable staff acting as role models who educate for wisdom, hope, community, and dignity.
• Listening to the voices of all members of our school community — children, families, staff, governors, and wider stakeholders — to serve the common good and meet the challenges of an ever-changing world.

Our Vision: Growing and Learning Together to Embrace Life in All Its Fullness

Our vision is lived out daily through the values that underpin everything we do. These values, rooted in the teachings of Jesus, enable our children to look upwards, outwards, and inwards, drawing on them as a guide to life:

• Fairness
  We learn from God’s example of justice and inclusivity, encouraging everyone to treat each other with fairness.
  “Be just and fair to all” (Isaiah 56:1)

• Forgiveness
  Understanding that everyone makes mistakes, we follow God’s teaching to forgive others as we are forgiven.
  “Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us” (Luke 11:4)

• Kindness
  We promote caring and kindness towards one another, building a compassionate school community.
  “Be kind to one another” (Ephesians 4:32)

• Respect
  We value the uniqueness of every individual and encourage respect for differences.
  “Show proper respect to everyone” (1 Peter 2:17 NIV)
  “However you want people to treat you, so treat them” (Matthew 7:12)

• Service
  We believe each child has gifts and talents to help others, fostering a spirit of generosity and support.
  “Serve one another in love” (Galatians 5:13)
  “Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others” (1 Peter 4:10)

What This Means for Our Children and Families

At Radwinter CofE (VA) Primary School, your child will thrive in an environment where their individuality is celebrated and their learning journey is supported every step of the way. We understand the importance of preparing children not only academically but also socially and spiritually for life in a multi-cultural, diverse society.

Our commitment to inclusion ensures that children from all backgrounds, including those with special educational needs and disadvantaged circumstances, feel valued and supported. Our dedicated staff work tirelessly to create a nurturing atmosphere where every child flourishes.

Children enjoy engaging in:

• Creative and challenging lessons tailored to their unique learning styles.
• Enriching experiences such as forest school activities, arts, music, and community events.
• Opportunities to explore and develop their own values through worship and reflection.
