Our CHRISTIAN ETHOS
"Loved, Inspired, Shining"
Our vision is for:
• Each person to know they are loved as they are by God, flourishing and reaching their potential.
• All our families to live life in all its fullness, inspired to learn through a creative curriculum.
• Our school to “Shine like a star”, bringing hope and courage to our community.
Being Part of a Church School
As a Church school we believe in a community where we:-
- have the right to love and be loved regardless of differences
- promote an awareness of spiritual thinking and reflection
- develop sensitively to the needs of others
- nurture a deep appreciation of the world around us
- build resilience to cope with set-backs and see positivity
Our Christian Values
Our St Alphege Values are routed in the gospel and teachings of Christ. The six St Alphege Values are:
Koinonia (love and community)
Forgiveness
Trust
Kindness
Love
Simcha (shared joy)
These are embedded in our policies, curriculum and activities and are clearly seen in all that our school family does together.
We learn about:
- Building a strong and supportive Community (Koinonia)
- How to ask for and show Forgiveness
- Trust is essential to human life and is at the heart of all relationships.
- Kindness and being kind to one another is an important part of building a strong community.
- The importance of Love in our world and lives.
- Discovering our inner contentment, enjoyment of life and happiness with others so that we can share our Joy with the world.
This leads to a school where children and adults are valued and secure.
