Vision & Values

Our School Vision

In Spring 2025, we began to share our new vision of:

‘Flourishing Together‘

Flourishing means becoming 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.

  • Psalm 139:13-14 (NIrV): 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.
  • John 10:10: I came so they can have real and eternal life, more and better life than they ever dreamed of. (The Message) I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. (NKJV)

Together emphasises the strength, possibilities and encouragement that can be found in community, teamwork, family. It highlights how everyone has a part to play and brings value and worth to our collective endeavours.  It shines a light on our desire to be a community that is inclusive of everyone, whatever their challenges, so that everyone flourishes fully.

  • Psalm 133:1: How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in peace! (NIrV)
  • 1 John 4:19: We love because he first loved us. (NKJV) We, though, are going to love—love and be loved. First we were loved, now we love. [God] loved us first. (The Message)
  • 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. (NIrV)

This vision is rooted in two important big ideas (theological concepts) from the bible: Creation and Love.

Out of love, God’s plan was for all creation to flourish, including human beings. Therefore, this vision is for everyone to be loved, valued, celebrated, represented, fulfilled, fully becoming the unique individuals that God designed us to be.  Everyone matters. At Quinton, we are ambitious for everyone, no exceptions.

God is love and God made us to love. In our school we want to be known for the way we love:

  • We will show love by being kind and compassionate to each other 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 together.
  • Rooted in God’s love for us, we want our school to love in generous ways that leaves no one out.
  • It will speak up for and reach out to those who don’t have what they need.

In an inclusive community of love, we are working to ensure that we are all:

‘Flourishing together’

Christian Values

At Quinton Church Primary School, our Christian Values are: 

Be kind, be fair, be thankful

 These overarching values of kindness, fairness and thankfulness are further explored through the values set out below- 

Kindness- compassion, service, peace, love

Fairness- justice, forgiveness, wisdom

Thankfulness- hope, friendship, trust

We have these values because of Jesus and are our basis for teaching children about the life and work of Jesus. 

Each of our values, has 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.
