Vision and Values

Ropley Church of England Primary School is a safe, caring, inclusive community where our core Christian values of Love, Courage and Community are central to all we do. We are a learning community where every child is nurtured as an individual, and where hard work and perseverance is valued. Within a culture of caring and celebration, we will support our children to develop a love of learning and challenge, with the skills, understanding and resourcefulness to achieve their potential.  We encourage each other to have the faith to believe in ourselves so we can be the best we can be.

Our Aims

 

Our Rules are:

Ready   Respectful   Safe

 

Our Christian Values are:

Love    Courage    Community

Love:     

  • God is love and love is all-inclusive.
  • Jesus is a symbol of God’s love.
  • Love is selfless and without self-gain. We see love in our child-centred focus; in our teaching and care for each pupil.
  • At Ropley CE Primary School we see love in the relationships between one another as we work together.
  • We teach children to show self-love as they value themselves.

Courage:

  • Jesus had the courage to give his life for us, therefore we must have the courage to stand up for God’s values.
  • We help pupils to build confidence, independence and self-esteem through ‘Courage’.
  • At Ropley CE Primary School we encourage our pupils to ‘be the best you can be' and in doing so to take courage in the face of adversity.
  • Courage requires hope and that hope is based on the enduring nature of God’s love and faithfulness.
  • Courage describes how we should act as people in the world.

Community:

  • Our school works in unison with all our families, those of different faiths and none, and we teach pupils to value and be respectful of differences. 
  • Our goal as a community is to emulate Jesus' example; we aspire to be more like Jesus, so we can inspire others to seek the truth and love.  
  • Community spirit and encouragement go hand in hand. This is a simple, but profound lesson within the Bible. 
  • We share in the world that is made from God’s love; thus, we also share the same heart and faith when we come together as a community.
