'Discovering life in all its fullness' John 10:10

HESED, HAMDAH, HONESTY, HORIZONS

As a result of the trusting relationships between all members of the school community and embedded Christian Values in every aspect of our practice, children at Lindridge grow into respectful and compassionate young people who are motivated to help others in our community and beyond. 

Our Church school serves all the community. We include everyone - those of faith and those with a preference for none. 

Our RE curriculum includes teaching of all faiths in order to develop deep routes of knowledge for our children and we are proud of our children's curiosity and deeper thinking demonstrated in our RE lessons. 

 

Our Values

We have identified six core Christian values which underpin our curriculum, support the development of our four core characteristics (Hesed, Hamdah, Honesty, Horizons) within our children and form the basis of our school vision. 

Our values are:

Autumn 1: Respect

Autumn 2: Justice

Spring 1: Hope

Spring 2: Forgiveness

Summer 1: Trust

Summer 2: Compassion

Each value forms the focus of our collective worship for the half term, we link our values to bible stories, hymns and individuals who demonstrate the value in order to deepen our understanding of them and reflect on how as individuals and a community we can affect our own behaviours to embody them. 

 

Collective Worship Ambassadors

Our newly appointed Collective Worship Ambassadors have a very important job in our school. Their responsibilities include:

• Preparing for weekly worship.
• Planning and leading Church services three times a year at St Lawrence's Church next door to school.
• Planning, leading and evaluating Collective Worship.
• Working with the wider school to promote our school values.

Our Church Links

We have close links with our local church: St Lawrence, which is right next door to school. We are able to access the church for many services (including Harvest, Easter, Christmas and Leavers'), our half-termly Praise Assemblies, Godly Play and also as an alternative learning space. 

Church Leaders are part of our school community and are well-known by all the children. Open the Book assemblies take place in school monthly and we also are led by Church Leaders on an annual Rogation Walk. 

In December we were awarded the Silver Church Partnership Award for our excellent relationship between school and church!
