Christian Values

At our school we have a commitment and vision to promote a distinctively Christian character within the school. This impacts on behaviour, attitudes to learning and pupils’ enjoyment of school. The impact of the Christian character and values teaching on the spiritual, moral, social and cultural (or SMSC) development of all learners is very strong and our pupils can describe the impact of these teachings on their conduct and wellbeing.

The strong partnership with the local church benefits the whole school community and positively impacts families, who are mostly not regular church attenders. However, the attendance for our shared church services with Holy Trinity church in Weston is extremely high, with most parents and wider families attending. Weston CE School is a Voluntary Controlled (VC) Church of England school. This means that our Governing Body include Foundation Governors representing the Parish of Weston and the Diocese of St. Albans.

We have a very close relationship with the church and regularly worship together, led by Rev. Sarah Richardson and our chair of Governors Dr. David Gunn. We express our Christian ethos through the Christian Values we teach and our school’s Christian Vision. Whilst celebrating the Christian faith, we respect the religious views, moral values, ethnic backgrounds and ways of life of all people during our RE lessons and topic choices.

Weston Primary & Nursery School has adopted the Imaginor 'Roots and Fruits' Christian Values recommended by the Gloucester Diocese. 

Each half term the whole school and the local church promote one specific Christian Value within Collective Worships and in class teaching. These Christian Values are listed below;

British Values

At Weston Church of England (Voluntary Controlled) Primary & Nursery School, we promote the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs. This forms part of our provision of SMSC.
