Mission and Vision
MISSION
Our historic mission statement, as identified in the school deeds has helped to shape the school’s vision statement and ethos:
Mission statement: ‘The school will aim to serve its community by providing an education of the highest quality within the context of Christian belief and practice. It encourages an understanding of the meaning and significance of faith and promotes Christian values through the experience it offers to all its pupils.’
VISION
‘With God all things are possible’
Our vision for education is deeply Christian, and rooted in theology [Matthew 19 V26]
Our vision ‘With God all things are possible’ speaks powerfully into the heart of
all we do.
It is from this Bible teaching that Jesus recognises the value of teaching children and how through God we are able to achieve all that we can. We believe this epitomises our mission and purpose as a school.
At Benedict Biscop ‘With God all things are possible’ is our way of expressing
our role in the classroom, the staffroom, the yard and our wider community.
We seek through our Christian ethos to ensure all things are possible as:
- We educate our children through our curriculum, our practice and
policies – giving them the skills, knowledge and understanding that will
prepare them for life. - We seek to give hope and aspiration to children, staff and parents.
Giving both ambition and coping mechanisms for when things don’t
always go as intended, in the knowledge of a God who loves them. - We see and encourage all to see each other as made in the image of
God, but unique with children, staff and families valuing one another as
God’s children. - We serve our community in school and beyond, by building relationships
just as God lives in community as the Holy Trinity. We are most in God’s
image when we live in community, and that is how we encourage each
other to flourish.
