Our Vision

All Saints is a happy, safe and inclusive school where:

Learning is a rewarding and enjoyable experience for everyone.

We provide our pupils with the highest standards of education in a nurturing, fun and friendly atmosphere.

A wide range of enriching opportunities are provided.

Every child is encouraged to be an independent, reflective and creative learner.

We challenge every child to ensure they achieve, and reach their full potential.

We pride ourselves on exemplary behaviour, good manners and respect for each other.

Parents are welcomed and included in their child’s education.

Staff are valued and trusted.

Children are provided with the necessary skills to grow into responsible, caring and fulfilled adults.

Our children make our community proud and are being prepared for life in Modern Britain.

This vision is underpinned by the Christian Values we share;

Love, Perseverance, Friendship, Generosity, Truthfulness, Courage, Compassion, Service, Forgiveness, Justice, Respect, Trust and Thankfulness.

Our School Prayer 

 

Great British Values

British Values = Christian Values

 

The government has set out its definition of British Values as:

  • Democracy
  • The rule of law
  • Individual liberty
  • Mutual respect
  • Tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs

 

Through our RE, PSHE/ RSE, Geography and promoting The Common Good we are able to make real links between the values of our pupils and the lives of others in their community, country and the world in general. Through our Creative Curriculum we teach about democracy (school council elections), civic responsibility (being part of making rules and looking after the world around us), rules and laws, equality, values and virtues and understanding of other faiths through visits to places of worship and visitors to school.

PHSRE/ Jigsaw links to British Values 

At All Saints’ we are committed to serving our community and surrounding area. We recognise the multicultural, multifaith nature of the United Kingdom and understand the crucial role our school plays in promoting these values.

As a Church of England School we actively promote values, virtues and ethics that shape our pupils character and moral perspective, through the teachings of the Church. We are confident that our continued focus on the Christian Values will give our pupils the necessary awareness of what it means to be a good citizen in Britain today, and embed in them the building blocks of a future successful and productive life.

 

 

The statement below outlines the key British values we actively promote.

 

Democracy

Each class democratically votes for two members to represent their class on the School Council. The school council meets regularly in school in order to share pupils’ views and drive new initiatives both within school and in the wider community. 

Children in Year 6 write letters of application for the roles of Head Girl/ Head boy and Prefects. These children are considered ambassadors for school and model and promote exemplary behaviour in school.

Pupils in Years 5 and 6 have links with the local magistrates, which includes visits to the local courts and visits by representatives of the court of law to school.

 

The Rule of Law

The school has a clearly defined behaviour policy that positively rewards good behaviour both in and out of school. This also sets out clear boundaries and appropriate consequences and engages parents when necessary to further reinforce school rules. Our Ruby Rules are actively taught and lived out throughout the school. 

 

 

Behaviour is monitored closely and regular reports are shared with governors. As a result, incidents of poor behaviour and racial incidents are minimal.

The school has very close links with our local Police Community Support Officer who regularly visits school to work with pupils and deliver assemblies. She patrols outside of school ensuring that children are safe when exiting the school and parents are adhering to safe parking.

 

Individual Liberty

Within school independence and resilience is promoted with the pupils encouraged to take educated risks, safe in the knowledge that they are supported by a safe and secure environment.

The school provides a wide range of clubs and activities outside of the school day and pupils are encouraged to make choices based on their own interests. Attendance at clubs is also monitored and pupils are encouraged to try new activities where possible in order to broaden their horizons.

Pupils have key roles and responsibilities within each class and the whole school, for which pupils actively put themselves forward.

 

Mutual Respect

Our curriculum embodies values of mutual respect. 

Our involvement with ESPE actively promotes an attitude of equality and fairness. We have signed the Fair Play Charter for all sporting events that the school attends.

At playtime, Prefects and Playground representatives initiate play and support other pupils.  We also have ‘Buddies’ whereby older pupils support younger pupils in the school.

 

Tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs.

Our R.E. curriculum provides a broad and balanced education on a range of faiths, religions and cultures.

Within our broad curriculum our pupils are introduced to other cultures such as Judaism, Hinduism and Islam. We also study many other cultures within our Geography units such as ‘Hot and Cold Areas of the World’ and ‘Comparing India with Chorley’.

In addition to this we offer curriculum enrichment through multi-cultural weeks and assembly topics, which are reviewed and adapted to meet the ever changing needs of our society.

We teach French from Year 3 to Year 6.
