Vision and Values

GREAT HARWOOD ST JOHN’S CHURCH OF ENGLAND PRIMARY SCHOOL

Our vision “Where everyone shines with God's love”

Based on 'Let your light shine'

Matthew 5:16 

Here at Great Harwood St John’s Church of England Primary School, we are committed to ensuring that all learners shine with God’s love and that they leave our school with a lifelong love of learning and know that they are treasured as individuals.

As a church of England school with a theologically rooted Christian vision, our vision and values are at the heart of everything we do.

Our school has 6 values per year which we run on a 2 year cycle. Each one of these becomes a main focus for a half term, but we refer to all values all of the time.

All of our values are embraced with LOVE:

Generosity,

Compassion,

Courage,

Forgiveness,

Friendship,

Respect.

Thankfulness,

Trust,

Perseverance,

Justice,

Service,

Truthfulness.

The Christian value for this half term is PERSEVERANCE.
