School Vision and Values

‘Building strong foundations, together, for everyone.’

…to work together as a school community to build strong foundations needed for our children to become well-rounded, responsible global citizens and lifelong learners. We focus on the development of the ‘whole person’ and provide a safe, caring community, underpinned by Christian values in order to achieve this.

Reference: Matthew 7:24-27; Luke 6: 46-49

“My words said Jesus are like that rock. And if you build your life on them, then you will stand firm too. Firm like the house on the rock.”

Our vision is at the heart of everything we do and we frequently reflect on how well we are achieving our vision for all within our school community.

Our Values

Our school’s core values are:
Community (Koinonia)
Inclusion; Creativity; Integrity.

“To be true to ourselves; to be true to each other, to be true to the world.”

Community (Koinonia) is our central school value. Our school’s Trust Deed states that we are here to serve the local community and provide an education, first and foremost to the children in Binfield village. This is reflected in our Admissions criteria. Community and team work are really important to us as this enables both our pupils and the village community to flourish and thrive. As a Community, we work together to support and guide our children and help them learn and develop as unique individuals. We aim to equip them with the values, knowledge and skills for the next phase of their education and beyond. We foster strong links with the local community in a range of ways including:

• Visits to our local churches throughout the year.
• Regular visits by clergy to lead worship.
• An extremely strong and vibrant PTA, known as FOBS, who do an amazing amount of events and fundraising throughout the year.
• Links with a wide range of local groups/clubs who come into school to share their skills with the children and/or make use of our school facilities. We also support and fundraise for a wide range of local groups, e.g. Bracknell Food Bank; Naomi House and Sebastian’s Trust as well as pupil initiated charities.
• We have many parent/grandparent helpers in our school.
• We have a very strong and committed staff and governing body team.
• We work with and support other schools both locally, nationally and internationally.

We have three subsidiary values: Integrity; Creativity and Inclusion (ICI). These are integral to ‘building a strong foundation together for everyone’.

Inclusion – we are a welcoming church school environment. We are here for all who are in our local community. The school’s Trust Deed makes this explicit. We seek to develop and support all within our school community, regardless of their Faith, race, gender, ability, sexual orientation etc. Jesus taught that we should, ‘Treat others as we would like to be treated’. This is very much at the heart of how we nurture, support and develop pupil’s attitudes and behaviours towards each other. We live in a pluralistic society and we celebrate diversities in our school and include all of those in our school.

Integrity – underpinned by Christian teaching, children are supported to develop a strong sense of morality – to understand the difference between what is right and wrong and to take responsibility for the choices that they make. As they grow in their understanding, we encourage them to consider their role as global citizens and to play their part in supporting and looking after the local and global community that God created.

Creativity – this is very much creativity/creation in the broadest sense and links to God as the creator, giving us all unique gifts and abilities to nurture and grow. As an ‘Advanced Thinking School’ we encourage creativity of thought as well as creativity as expressed across the broader curriculum. We encourage all within our community to use their unique gifts and talents to help the school team/community in the best way they can. This is lived out by the way staff, parents and pupils work together and share with each other, e.g. older pupils helping younger pupils read; staff running additional activities; parents coming in to share their skills with the children.

“To be true to ourselves; to be true to each other; to be true to the world.”

If we are true to ourselves, then we act with integrity; we use our creativity for good and make sure we grow it and help others to do the same; we include others and collaborate. By behaving in this way, we are true to each other in our community and support each other in behaving like this too. We help our community to grow and develop, ‘Building strong foundations, together for everyone’. In doing this we are true to the world (wider community) and helping it to be a better place. God created the world and we are contributing to making it more like the sort of world that Jesus tried to teach us about.

In partnership with Home

Your child’s education, development and welfare are of the utmost importance to you and us. A child will only flourish, be happy and make good progress if there is good co-operation and respect between parents and school. It is in partnership, that we will build strong foundations for your child and we are here to work with you and support you as your child goes through our school.

If you are concerned about any aspect of your child’s education or welfare please do not hesitate to discuss it with a member of the school staff.

Formal Parents’ Evenings are held in the Autumn and Spring Terms. Children from Year 4 upwards are encouraged to attend these with you as they begin to take greater responsibility for their learning. In addition, there are informal drop-in opportunities each term to come in with your child and see their work, and ask any questions to their teacher(s).

During the Summer term a report is sent home and the opportunity provided to discuss this further with the class teacher if you so wish.

As part of this partnership we have a Home-School Agreement in place, which parents are invited to sign and discuss with their child.

As parents, there are many ways in which you can help in school. If you have a particular area of expertise please let us know! We rely on parents helping with reading, cooking, school trips, computing – the list is long.

Our School Aims

  • To establish a happy, secure, well-ordered and stimulating environment where children and staff work together in an atmosphere of trust and respect and where children can learn to be tolerant, courteous and caring.
  • To provide a broad and balanced curriculum, this fulfils the requirements of the National and Foundation curricula, so that each child can achieve their full potential.
  • To teach and foster the development of good working habits, an enquiring mind and self-discipline and to encourage the children to take pride in their work.
  • To help all children develop fully through a range of skills, knowledge and practical activities.
  • To involve parents and the wider community as partners in the process of the children’s education.
  • To promote equality of opportunity for all.
