School Vision & Values

Our Vision
 

Our Christian vision, rooted in the words of Jesus, “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full” (John 10:10), is the most important part of our school. It shapes every aspect of school life, guiding our decisions, relationships and aspirations for all members of our community.

As a Church of England school, we are committed to ensuring that every child is known, valued and enabled to flourish. This commitment reflects the purpose set out in our original Trust Deed, which was established “for the education of children only of the labouring manufacturing and other poorer classes in the Parish of Sutton.” Whilst society has changed significantly since that time, the principle of serving our community and providing high-quality education for all remains central to who we are today.

Our Values
 
At Sutton CE (VC) Primary School we ‘STRIVE’ to be the very best that we can be and our values underpin our approach to behaviour.
 
SAFE We uphold and protect each other’s rights to be safe from harm ‘Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.’ (Psalm 37:3) 
 
TOGETHER We celebrate our place within local, national and global communities ‘So in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.’ (Romans 12:4) 
 
RESPECT We celebrate and embrace our differences ‘So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you’ (Matthew 7:12) 
 
INTEGRITY We are open and honest with one another ‘The Lord delights in people who are trustworthy’ (Proverbs 12:22) 
 
VALUED We listen to and respect each other’s views so that all can thrive and flourish ‘Love your neighbour as yourself’ (Mark 12:31) 
 
EXCELLENCE We try our best so that we may reach our full potential ‘if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things’ (Philippians 4:8)
