Our Vision, Values and Aims

Inspiring a love of learning through our Christian Values

At Longwick, our vision is rooted in a commitment to excellence. We aim to serve our community by providing an education of the highest quality within the context of Christian belief and promote our values through the experience we offer our pupils. The school preserves and develops its religious character in accordance with the principles of the Church of England and in partnership with St Mary’s Church, Princes Risborough.

Our Christian Values explicitly linked to the Bible are:

• Respect
• Perseverance
• Responsibility
• Kindness

To underpin our values, we use the parable of The Wise and The Foolish Builders Matthew 7, verses 24-27.

We actively promote and teach British Values and take pride in providing strong pastoral support in a safe learning environment, where all are valued. We strive to prepare every child for the challenges and changes of the future by enabling them to build strong foundations so that they can achieve the highest standards in their personal development.

Our Aims:

• To provide a rich learning curriculum that promotes Christian values and provides spiritual, moral, social and cultural development for all children.
• To challenge and inspire our pupils to have high aspirations and become confident, curious, independent and resilient life-long learners.
• To provide a welcoming and inclusive, safe and caring environment in which everyone is valued.
• To provide pupils, as they grow in understanding, with opportunities to contribute to our school, local community and the wider world as responsible citizens.
