Visions and Values

Codnor Community Primary School, Church of England Controlled, is committed to attaining high standards by creating a happy, secure learning environment in which all members of the community can grow in self-esteem, achieve full potential and develop spiritual awareness within the Christian faith.

Learn, strive and achieve in a caring Christian environment.

We aim to:

• Enable all children to develop their potential in all aspects of the curriculum.
• Develop in children a love of learning and a desire to achieve high standards.
• Provide children with an education appropriate to a changing world.
• Use all resources available to school to provide the best possible learning environment.
• Help children to live together within our local community, and the wider multicultural society.
• Develop in children a sensitivity to others and a readiness to become responsible, independent people.
• Develop in children a positive sense of moral responsibility and self-discipline.
• Develop children's spiritual awareness.

• Ensure that our pupils and our school promote tolerance, respect and awareness for people of all faiths (or those of no faith), and alternative cultures and lifestyle.

• Prepare children positively for life in modern Britain, which pupils demonstrate through their words and actions within the school and in the community.

• Give children opportunities to lead their own worship through prayer, respect and reflection. Collective worship is integral to daily life at Codnor Primary School and Christian values are shown through the teachings of Jesus Christ.

• Codnor Primary School always puts its children’s safety first and follows the recommendations and procedures for Safeguarding and Child Protection and Safer Recruitment.
