What the school offers its staff

St Gilbert’s, set in the heart of Georgian Stamford, is an exciting place to be and you cannot fail to be captivated by its warmth, vibrancy and dynamic energy when you walk through the doors. Our school community is made up of pupils, staff and parents who unite around our ethos and core values of ‘Happiness, Courage and Service’.

Within a supportive environment, pupils are challenged to achieve their personal best and inspired to serve others with their talents. They are enabled to be confident and to take risks as they explore their potential. A good work ethic, mutual respect and responsibility are key qualities which are nurtured in all at St Gilbert’s.

We want our children, from all faiths and none, to take opportunities to grapple with the ‘big questions’ of life; to have a deep awareness of the diverse cultures and beliefs within our society and beyond; to develop a clear understanding of their identity and purpose and to reflect thoughtfully on what they believe. We encourage open minds and independent judgement, and we seek to nurture the whole child in a supportive and caring environment. EVERYONE is respected and valued, and pupils develop not only academically, but socially, emotionally and spiritually. Our vision means that as unique individuals in the eyes of God, we seek to thrive together in love, life and learning.

At school we aim to help each other to learn how to do this. It is not always easy to live life in this way and so we help each other with the challenges that come along the way.

Everyone who works in and for our school supports its Christian foundation and ethos. Our pupils learn what it means to have a faith, underpinned by strong shared values which are shared across all faiths and none.

There are strong links between our school, our homes, our church and our community. Spiritual development is at the centre of school life both directly through worship or indirectly through our behaviour policy, our pastoral support and our curriculum. We care about the spiritual development of everyone in our school community. We want our pupils to live an abundant life, physically, emotionally, spiritually and mentally. St. Gilbert’s is a school community that enables our children to have the opportunity to be truly fulfilled in all these areas which in turn gives them balance in their lives. This also supports our key values of Happiness, Courage and Service as pupils experience a breadth in their learning, develop inner courage and learn to serve others. All staff recognise and work hard to ensure each child feels safe, secure and is able to achieve ‘Life in all its fullness’ and be the best they can be. Ultimately children will be equipped to be responsible, respectful and active citizens throughout their lives.
