Vision & Values
Our School Vision:
‘Flourishing Together‘
At Quinton, we believe that to Flourish is to become the best version of ourselves in body, mind and spirit. It means being loved and recognised for who we are, uniquely made in the image of God.
John 10:10: I came so they can have real and eternal life, more and better life than they ever dreamed of.
Psalm 139:13-14: You created the deepest parts of my being. You put me together inside my mother’s body. How you made me is amazing and wonderful. I praise you for that. What you have done is wonderful.
Together emphasises the strength, possibilities and encouragement that can be found in community, teamwork and family. It highlights how everyone has a part to play and brings value and worth to our collective endeavours. Togetherness shines a light on our desire to be a community that is inclusive of everyone, whatever the challenges, so that all can flourish.
Psalm 133:1: How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in peace!
1 John 4:19: We love because he first loved us.
Micah 6:8: The Lord has shown you what is good. He has told you what he requires of you. You must act with justice. You must love to show mercy. And you must be humble as you live in the sight of your God.
Our vision is linked to two important theological concepts from the Bible: Creation and Love.
The Bible teaches us that out of love, God’s plan was for all creation to flourish, including human beings. Therefore, our school vision is for everyone to be loved, valued, celebrated, and represented. At Quinton, we are ambitious for everyone; no exceptions!
I John 4: 8 says ‘God is love’. In our school we want to share this love together.
We all aim to show love by being kind and compassionate, even when we disagree with one another.
Love will flow through our school as we strengthen a sense of togetherness that does not keep records of past hurts but grows through things that connect us.
We hope that members of our school learn to love in generous ways, that leaves no one out. Our community will speak up for and reach out to those who don’t have what they need.
In our inclusive community, we are working to ensure that we are all:
‘Flourishing together’
Our Culture
At Quinton Church Primary School, our culture is to:
Be kind, be fair and be thankful
This overarching culture of kindness, fairness and thankfulness are further explored through our six values:
Belonging, Love, Justice, Forgiveness, Peace and Hope
We have these values because of Jesus and they our basis for teaching children.
Each part of our culture and each of our values have a series of bible stories linked to it. Through collective and class worship, we use these stories to help us understand the values and the impact they can have on our lives. Worship is part of our daily routine at Quinton Church Primary School.
