School Vision

We provide an excellent education based on a Christian framework that empowers our children with the knowledge and wisdom to shape the future.

At St George’s Church of England Primary School, we are inspired by Jesus’ words that ‘I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.’ (John 10:10). The words of Jesus act as a guide for our Christian school vision where we aim for all at St. George’s to flourish together and enjoy life to the full.

In John, Chapter 10, Jesus describes his purpose on Earth as being the ‘Good Shepherd’ to show us the way. He knows us completely and is therefore able to lead us completely because we are known to him. God wants each person to flourish and so promises to help and guide. We see our purpose as being like the ‘Good Shepherd’ in Psalm 23: proactively seeking to care, support and nurture through a relationship of trust that is lead by example. In turn, we hope, through leading by example, to develop the next generation that can take on that role.

As God can help and guide us, by knowing each one of us, ‘Life to the fullest’ is God’s gift to us. Jesus is there for children and staff to grow physically and spiritually just as he had done (Luke 2:39-40). Our distinct relationship with Jesus, and God, enables us to cultivate our innate self-worth and self-value to have a rich sense of living together through all the ups and downs. Through this close relationship, we nurture and develop the gifts that all in our school have to offer so they have can continue to care for God’s creations.

We live this out through:

• A Christian Education
• Serving our local community
• Building each other up
