The Vision, Beliefs and Values of St. Peter’s CE Primary Academy, Hednesford
Our vision as a church school encapsulates the solid foundation that God gives us all in our lives: “Upon this rock I will build my church” and the aspirational sentiment of making the most of all our God-given opportunities in his creation: “Let your light shine before others.”
Our academy motto is:
‘Reach for the Sky’
“Let your light shine before others.”
Matthew 5: 16
Jesus turned to him: “Now I say to you that you are Peter, which means ‘rock’, and upon this rock I will build my church.”
Matthew 16: 18
We uphold three core Christian beliefs:
Creation Incarnation Salvation
As part of these beliefs, our everyday lives focus on these Christian values:
Thankfulness Humility Forgiveness
Trust Endurance Friendship
These Christian beliefs and values are at the heart of our academy, our life as a community and our approach to teaching and learning.
In all we do in school and in our daily lives, we trust that we are carrying out God’s work and seek to follow the example that Jesus set. Learning can be difficult, life can be uncertain and growing up in modern society presents an often-confusing picture of what decisions we, as individuals, should make. This is why, along with the aspirational sentiment of Reach for the Sky, we ask all members of the school community to live their lives placing their trust in God and to build upon the foundations he gives us: In God We Trust. By placing our trust and faith in God, we commit ourselves and our actions to him to strengthen us and to make our world a better place.
