Christian Distinctiveness
‘Roots to grow – Wings to fly’
‘Those who trust in the Lord for help will find their strength renewed. They will rise on wings like eagles; they will run and not get weary; they will walk and not grow weak. Their roots will grow down into God’s love and keep them strong’.
(Isaiah 40:31, Ephesians 3:17)
At Hambleton Church of England Primary School, we are committed to providing inspirational and innovative teaching and the highest quality learning experiences for all our pupils, based on clear Christian principles. We aim to create an environment which promotes a love of learning and empowers our children to become independent, lifelong learners. Our core values are set out in our Christian Vision, and the scripture which underpins them:
We are Resilient
‘Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid, do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go’.
Joshua 1:9
We work as a Team
Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labour. If either of them falls down one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no-one to help them up. Ecclesiastes 4:9,10
We are Truthful
Dear children, let us not love with words or speech, but with actions and in truth
1 John 3:18
We are Respectful
And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them.
Luke 6:31
We are Creative
Do not neglect the gift you have,
1 Timothy 4:14
We are Compassionate
Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble.
