Each term we explore a value which feeds into our vision of “Let us run the race before us and never give up”. These are taken from the teachings of The Bible.

❖ The value is introduced in a whole school worship at the beginning of a new term, key questions are then explored throughout the term. These become the focus of the whole school and class worship sessions.

❖ Every assembly contains as a minimum a welcome prayer, a candle, an exploration of the theme, a reflection and a prayer.

❖ Each classroom contains an area where pupils are supported / encouraged to reflect on the theme in ways appropriate to their understanding.

❖ Pupils have shown a deep understanding of the values as time has progressed and we look forward to them developing this further as they travel through school.

Values for Life is a resource to support our school in promoting the teaching of our Christian values. It provides opportunities to promote the teaching of values through:

• A range of questions to help the whole school community reflect on each value
• Collective worship plans to raise awareness of each aspect of the value
• Bible stories that are relevant to the theme
• Stories from world faiths, which illustrate the value
• Suggestions of well known children’s texts which reinforce the value
• Ways in which subjects in the curriculum support understanding of the value in concrete situations
