Vision and Values at St Alban's

Our Vision

Our vision is for every child to be 

‘Inspired to make a difference in God’s world with excellence and love’

This means that:

• We will help children to recognise that they are unconditionally loved by God, teaching them how to love others
• We will equip them with the knowledge, skills and attitudes to achieve excellence in all aspects of their lives and to resiliently tackle challenges they encounter along the way, in order that they can make a positive difference in the world

Our Values

Our core Christian values of Love, Courage and Fellowship are the foundations of our vision. By developing a deep understanding of these values, children will be inspired and motivated to make a positive difference in the world:

Love                  Putting others before ourselves.

Courage            Commit to what is right and true. Persevere. Do not be discouraged.

Fellowship        Working together to achieve shared goals. Overcoming and celebrating our differences.

Our Aims

Through a consistent focus on developing our vision and values, and a first-class educational experience, we aim for all children to:

• know that they are unique and precious, loved by God
• become skilled, knowledgeable and academically successful with a love of learning and curiosity
• be respectful of all people and God's world, knowledgeable about differences, accepting and open minded
• be prepared for a rapidly changing modern world, knowing how to keep themselves physically and mentally healthy and safe
• be independent and self-motivated with high aspirations
• become confident and resilient with a strong sense of self worth
• be morally principled, courageous advocates, able to challenge and stand up for what is right and know when to compromise
• develop compassion and the ability to forgive
• develop creativity
• become emotionally intelligent, skilled in teamwork and building relationships
• be able to explore faith and spirituality

School Prayer

Our school prayer was written collectively by our school community to mark our 60th Anniversary.

Dear Lord,

We give thanks for your son Jesus Christ,

May his life inspire us to make a difference in our world.

Let us lead by example in all we do:

To love others before ourselves,

To have hope and know the true and living God,

To show compassion to all our neighbours

To be thankful and know you as creator.

Thank you for our school, a safe place to learn and grow.

Help us show wisdom, to forgive each other and to care for all creation,

We ask this so your kingdom may be here on earth today and ever more,

Amen
