Ann Cam Church of England Primary School

How do we fulfil the Church of England’s vision for education?

DEEPLY CHRISTIAN, SERVING THE COMMON GOOD

At Ann Cam C of E Primary School, we are deeply Christian in character and live out our School Christian Values on a daily basis. Collective Worship is the ‘heartbeat’ of our school day, setting the tone for the behaviour and ethos of our school family. We have strong links with our local vicar Reverend Kat Mepham, We welcome visitors into school on a regular basis to contribute to R.E lessons, Collective Worship and to mark key dates in the Christian calendar.

We embrace the Church of England’s vision which is deeply Christian and proclaims Jesus’ promise of “Life in all its fullness” (John 10:10) through the four elements of community, dignity, wisdom and hope.

DEEPLY ROOTED AND FLOURISHING TOGETHER

We seek to promote our vision and values which are based on Christian teaching throughout their school life so that children come to make wise and right behavioural choices. These values inform the schools, vision, aims and ethos, the design of the curriculum, all policies the planning of spiritual and moral development as well as the school’s management and governance.

Every opportunity is taken to celebrate the demonstration of these values in children’s behaviour both in school and also during events outside school. We weave our values into all aspects of school life and share them in our daily language; they are important to staff, children and the community.
