Our School Vision

At St Laurence Church of England Primary School, we aim for our school family to ‘learn with love and laughter and to grow in God’s grace’.  

We all strive to provide the best provision for all of the pupils who attend our school. This includes their academic education, Christian values, British values, behaviours and the knowledge and skills that will help them to become life-long learners, respectful citizens and successful members of the global community.

We strongly believe that the goodness you sow will reap positive outcomes in the diverse world in which we live.

Mission Statement

Our mission at St Laurence Church of England Primary School is to unlock the potential of every child and encourage ‘Life in all its fullness’ (John 10:10). This is driven by our desire to create a love of learning through the values that are rooted in our school community. We ensure that our school is friendly, welcoming, vibrant and inclusive.

We pride ourselves in keeping our children safe and happy; inspiring them to become confident, independent, self-reliant learners and to believe that anything is possible. Our school has a shared collective commitment that sets no limits and has high expectations of all children and staff. We recognise and value the uniqueness and achievement of individual learners and of every member of our school family. We celebrate our Christian ethos and British Values by teaching our children to be open-minded, tolerant of people’s differences, responsible, respectful and resilient. Children are encouraged to participate fully, learn through their mistakes and always do their best.

To realise this we will:

Encourage children to have pride and respect for themselves

Develop awareness of moral, social and religious values

Deliver a broad and balanced curriculum that is creative, challenging and relevant

Inspire our children to become curious, determined and reflective

Continue to build partnerships with parents and the local community
