Our Vision:  Growing together, becoming all we are created to be

One body, many parts. 1 Corinthians 12

At the start of this new school year, we are reminding ourselves about what our school Vision and FACE values look like in action; we should be seeing it happening all around us when we are in our school: our vision is the FACE of St Mark’s.

Our vision and associated values are at the very heart of all that we do at St Mark’s, from our Teaching and Learning approach and curriculum content to our expectations of behaviour and the way in which we relate to others in our school community and in the wider world.

The Biblical verse that underpins our vision is:  ‘One Body, Many Parts’ (1 Corinthians 12): We are one community, bringing our own unique differences so that our school community can grow and  flourish.  We need everyone to play their part!

One of the main ways we can put our vision into action is through our FACE values. When we show these values in our learning and in our relationships, we grow as people and enabling ourselves and others to become more of who we are created to be. The illustrations found in this weeks newsletter were designed by the children to show how each of the values can be represented through an image, linking the key Bible story for each of our FACE values to every day life.

It is wonderful to see how the St Mark’s vision and values are truly embedded into school life, genuinely informing the choices we make on a daily basis. I wonder if you can see these values in action at home too?

Have a super weekend,

Mrs A Fitch and the Staff Team
