Our School Vision and Values

Vision

L E W -  Love Equality Wisdom

Together we grow in wisdom like The Good Samaritan showing compassion to others; upholding dignity; supporting the potential in everyone.

Values

Lew Trenchard seeks to educate its children through the core Christian values demonstrated by the Good Samaritan: of kindness, responsibility and respect, encouraging pupils to live aspirational and fulfilled lives. 

We do this by:

  • being accountable for all of our actions; (Responsibility)
  • demonstrating integrity; (Respect)
  • being good stewards of our resources; (Care/Stewardship)
  • serving others without self-interest. (Generosity/Compassion/Kindness)

Our focus Christian values are reflected in our teaching, Collective Worship and wider school activities and celebrations.   We are guided by the Church of England Vision for Education.  

  • wisdom, knowledge and skills: enabling discipline, confidence and delight in seeking wisdom and knowledge, and developing talents in all areas of life;
  • hope and aspiration: enabling healing, repair and renewal, coping wisely when things go wrong, opening horizons and guiding people into ways of fulfilling them;
  • community and living well together: a core focus on relationships, participation in communities and the qualities of character that enable people to flourish together;
  • dignity and respect: the basic principle of respect for the value and preciousness of each person, treating each person as a unique individual of inherent worth.

 

Lived Experience

These Christian values and beliefs underpin the teaching and pastoral support that we offer here in our school. We believe in a reflective environment which supports children to attain the skills and empathy required to treat others as they wish to be treated.

Strategic direction and decision making.

At the heart of our decision making, at all levels, lie the children and their best interests.

Leaders are ambitious for all pupils regardless of backgrounds or starting points.

Improved outcomes – attainment and progress are always part of the Trust and school improvement plans.

Curriculum design

The Trust Capabilities Curriculum leads on how we deliver our aspirational curriculums.

The Visible Learning Status of our school means that we use evidence-based research to provide CPD and implement changes for improvement. All staff at all levels continue to learn and develop through the comprehensive programme of CPD.

Our Trust and school goes beyond the National Curriculum and to incorporate contextual elements to enhance pupils’ sense of belonging.  This includes broad, relevant enrichment programmes and use of the Trust Woodlands Activity Centre.

Community and Advocacy

Our school develops a programme of teaching that develops the pupils’ sense of community and how they contribute – this includes but is not limited to charity work, understanding equality and diversity and Climate change and sustainability. Each school has a wealth of support in place for all stakeholders for mental health and well-being ensuring our schools are flourishing communities.  This includes Mental Health Practitioners, TIS trained staff, a fully inclusive curriculum and high expectations for all pupils.
