VISION
SCHOOL VISION STATEMENT
As a church school, at the heart of the community, in partnership with parents, West Hoathly Church of England Primary School is committed to enabling everyone to achieve their full potential. We will do this through developing a love of learning within a creative environment, where everyone aspires towards excellence. Rooted in the Christian values of Love, Hope and Forgiveness, we aim to develop confident learners who demonstrate resilience, reflectiveness, resourcefulness and reciprocity.
Our Curriculum Aims
At West Hoathly School we believe, strongly that success is about more than just reading, writing and maths (although these are important) and it is our vision to ensure that each child develops as a well rounded individual, with a rich variety of experiences, skills, attributes and characteristics and that everyone is well prepared for the next stage of life and learning when they leave us to move on to the next phase of their learning journey.
Our Core Values
As a Church of England school our ethos is based on three inclusive core Christian values. They are defined in a manner which we hope is accessible to those of any faith or none.
LOVE
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonour others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
1 Corinthians 13 v.4-7
HOPE
We all need encouragement and the incentive to aim high and do our best.
Hope means we have high, but not unreasonable, expectations for everyone.
FORGIVENESS
When we forgive we free ourselves and others to move forward in life.
Forgiveness means a fresh start for everyone every day.
These values are neatly summarised in the following poem:
Love is the water which helps us grow!
Hope is the challenge which tells us, "Go!".
We all need a fresh start everyday
So forgive and help others along the way.
