Oakhill Church School Vision
Love, Trust, Determination, Joy
At Oakhill Church School, we demonstrate, through love, trust, determination and joy, that our children are known, valued, and encouraged to develop an intrinsic happiness in who they are. With high expectations, challenge and curiosity, we nurture a community, where compassion and a sense of global responsibility is at the heart of all we do.
“A caring family where we grow together”
Let your light shine – Matthew 5 v 16
Our Vision
Our vision for Oakhill Church School where all children are known and valued as unique individuals, where differences are respected and celebrated. With community and childhood at the heart, our school intentionally nurtures kindness towards one another and believes that children thrive only when their wellbeing is held at the core of their journey. We believe in our children, and through imagination, high expectations and challenge, we inspire them to reach their fullest potential, and develop an intrinsic happiness in who they are.
Our Christian Values
The vision for Oakhill Church School is under-pinned by our 12 Christian values, which guide how the community relates to each other, and our environment. These Christian values can also be seen as common values, held equally by members of different faiths and no faith alike. Exploring our values, which guide our choices and reflections, over a two-year cycle, we focus on a different value each term, celebrating and discussing it in collective worship, assembly and in class.
Through linking the selected value to events on the calendar, modern day themes and engaging children with the theological underpinnings, we strive to enable Oakhill Church School to be a community that seeks to embody an ethos of living well together – preparing children for the challenges as a 21st Century citizen in Modern Britain, respecting and showing understanding of others for all that is similar and different.
This strong ethos permeates school life and the emphasis on increasing our children’s awareness of our ‘values’ is a significant factor in enhancing the pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development.
