Our Faith

‘Love life, love learning, love God’s world’

Our vision is to provide a nurturing, creative, Christian community where everyone will achieve with confidence and enjoyment, so that everyone will embrace ‘Life in all its fullness.’ John 10:10.

Our school values:

Love – our core Christian value is central to every decision and action we take. We are all loved by God: in return we love life, love learning and love God’s world.  Three main Christian values underpin this: compassion, respect, hope.

Compassion – caring about someone else’s feelings and trying our best to understand how others might be feeling, and offering to help that person

Respect – for others and our environment. We are all different and think differently but we are all special, and we celebrate our differences. We treat others as we would like to be treated.

Hope – we have high hopes and aspirations for our future, our school and community. We understand that faith gives us hope, and this hope brings confidence. We know that there is always a future whatever situation we are in, because God promised to never leave us, to always love us, and to help us in times of need.

The Staff and Governors of Rumboldswhyke Church of England Primary School believe that children learn best when everyone who contributes to their education work as partners.  Therefore, they believe that the School values are central to every decision made by all in our school community.

We enjoy a daily act of collective worship together and have a large team of people who support our spiritual life in school: Worship is based on a

Monday  Mrs Harris. Exploring the monthly value through the Bible, song, dance or drama
Tuesday Father Angus
Wednesday Open the Book  or our monthly value through poetry or picture books with Mrs Gilbert
Thursday Mrs Harris and the Rumboldswhyke Worship Leaders or the Bishop Luffa Worship Leaders following the Christian calender
Friday Celebration and Singing assembly

The school encourages the involvement of clergy from local Anglican Churches and Christian communities that support our students. The varied Christian backgrounds allow pupils to have a richness of experience. 

 

The school enjoys strong links with our local parish church, St George’s. Father Angus usually leads collective worship in school every Tuesday.  We maximise the opportunity of using our local church throughout the year for whole school acts of worship on significant days, and celebrations we share with our families and members of St George’s.
