Vision

At Midhurst CE Primary School we believe passionately in living life in all its fullness by developing the spiritual and holistic potential of each child. Our distinctively Christian values of kindness, peace, friendship, respect, creativity and forgiveness underpin the education and care we provide for the whole child, their family and school community.

Aims

Our aim is that every child will reach their full potential by:

  • learning to read so that they can read to learn.
  • having the skills to write with purpose and fluency.
  • becoming problem solvers through logic, reason and numeracy.
  • knowing how to learn, what sort of learner they are and how they learn best.
  • accessing a wide ranging, creative curriculum that is challenging and inspiring and caters for the needs of all.
  • gaining knowledge, skills and understanding appropriate to a fast-changing world, so they can be self-reliant, adaptable and lead fulfilling and meaningful lives.
  • being valued as an individual, who can share their concerns and can grow in confidence knowing their place in their class, their school, their local, national and international communities, wanting to help others and make a positive difference.
  • being aware and able to make healthy choices physically and mentally. They will choose to keep active and develop positive attitudes to life and wellbeing.
  • understanding that they are responsible for their own actions and take responsibility for them.

At Midhurst C of E Primary School we strive to ensure that the whole school environment is a place that promotes learning, encourages challenge and independence and is as safe as possible. We believe that children should feel secure, happy and valued as unique individuals so their educational, emotional, spiritual and physical needs are met. We expect every child to make good progress and develop their wisdom, knowledge, skills and understanding of the world they live in.

We encourage enthusiasm and motivation across the school, enabling us all to be creative and imaginative in our work. The biblical teachings of Jesus underpin all we do; our priorities and decisions, collective worship, RE and across the curriculum. Our Christian values are alive and in action around the school. Our distinct Christian foundation supports children to cooperate, share and show respect for everyone, regardless of faith, culture or ethnic background and be responsible for their own behaviour.
