Our Vision

Learn Believe Achieve

Hand in hand with God and each other

Learn

" For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding." Proverbs 2:6

Learning is at the forefront of our minds. At Norton CEVC we take pride in developing outstanding teaching and learning by having the highest expectations for  all our pupils and knowing them well. In an ever-changing world, pupils will be equipped with the necessary skills and qualities needed to embrace life’s challenges and opportunities. We will learn about ourselves and others around us both socially, emotionally and spiritually.

Believe

"Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.” Mark 9:23

At Norton CEVC we encourage everyone to believe in their own achievements both personally and academically. Through our curriculum, pupils will be opened to a wide range of experiences so that they can develop aspirational attitudes. As a church school we affirm our Christian belief in God with our Christian values being at the heart of our school.

Achieve

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" Philippians 4:13

‘Achieve’ reflects the importance of achieving academically and celebrating the rewards of hard work and resilience. We also value the many personal achievements that our pupils demonstrate each day; everyone is encouraged to aim high in order to be the best they can be.

As a school, through discussions with parents, governors, staff and children, we have identified Christian Values and Curriculum Drivers which provide the foundations for the curriculum we deliver, takes into consideration the context of our school and embeds the school's vision.

Curriculum Drivers 

Our drivers are areas that we value as a school; they give focus to learning opportunities and are embedded throughout teaching and learning, developing the child as a whole.

Christian Values 

Our school’s Christian character contributes significantly to the academic achievement, personal development and well-being of all learners. Although we are a church school, we are inclusive to all members of the community we serve. Our aim is that pupils from all faiths and those without a faith feel safe and happy, secure in the knowledge that their beliefs are respected and valued.

The Christian character is evident in the strong sense of respect existing between staff and pupils, who are proud to be a part of our 'distinctive' school.

As a community, we have identified six values that are woven into the very fabric of the school which we expect all members of the school community – children, staff, governors and parents– to model:
