Our Christian School Vision and Values Spirituality Collective Worship Diocese of Hereford
Here at Claverley CE Primary School we welcome children, their parents and carers into a friendly, happy and hardworking environment where respect for others and positive attitudes towards learning and behaviour are encouraged and nurtured. At our school all children are valued and all staff work hard to help every child reach their full potential. Through our Christian vision ‘to encourage one another and build each other up’ reflect our aim to empower all to flourish and support them to fulfil their God given potential to make the most of the lives they have been gifted by God – to live out their BEST lives.
Every child in our school is special. We aim to bring out the best in each of them. We believe passionately in recognising every pupil as a unique individual, each with their own gifts and talents. Whilst we are open to people of all faiths and none, this belief in the uniqueness of each child and their value as part of God’s creation, means that we are looking to allow their identity and gifts to flourish and we will do all we can to allow that.
As a Church of England School, our Christian Values underpin all that we do. Our core values which are fundamental in helping to develop our children to be responsible citizens of the future.
Our Christian Values are an integral part of our school vision and are key values and attributes that we believe will help all at Claverley CE Primary to live life in all its fullness.
Our core values are: Hope, Dignity, Community and Wisdom.
Hope – Christian hope means trusting in the loving purposes of God: trusting that the foundations of the world are good because they spring from God.
Dignity – not thinking too much of ourselves but putting others first, trusting in God’s challenging wisdom so that we may grow in faith, hope and love.
Community – Live in harmony with one another.
Wisdom – Insight into the way life works; a proper understanding of the consequences of our thoughts, words and actions and an awareness of the true value of things.
Our values are the foundations of our behaviour policy, and we use them to talk to the children about their actions, to help them understand consequences. This then helps them to make changes and choices to ensure they are following our values within school and in their own lives at home.

Harvest
This year we have celebrated Harvest in a very different way. We missed being able to come together in the church as a whole school community. Garry produced a Harvest Festival for us all to watch and each class have contributed too! A BIG thank you to everyone who has donated tins, packets and toiletries for the Bridgnorth Foodbank. It just shows that even though we couldn’t all get together in person, we are all able to take the time to support others
