Values, Vision & Ethos


‘Let your light shine before others so that they may see your good works and give glory to your father who is in heaven.’

Matthew 5:16

Let us shine as lights.
I am a beacon.
I have many talents.
I can learn to shine my light.
I can see other’s lights.
I can lead the way and because of this I am fulfilled.

At St Leonard's C.E. First School we aim to ensure that all pupils are supported to achieve and pursue their dreams within a caring, supportive and positive environment. Our vision teaches us as pupils, staff, parents, carers and Parishioners, we should all celebrate and value what we all bring to God's world.

‘From a tiny spark to a bright flame.’

TMPF Trust have a series of values which are shared across the family of schools and are inspired by the teaching of Christ:

Trust

Trust lies at the heart of all relationships. By trusting in God we ourselves become trustworthy just as He is.

'Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.'

Mindful

Being mindful of others leads to a heart of compassion; compassion leads to a desire to act for the good of all.

'Finally, all of you, live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as brothers and sisters, be compassionate and humble.'

Peace

Peace and harmony lead to a stable and secure community where all are nurtured and can flourish.

Matthew 5:19
'Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called the children of God.'

Friendship

Barriers are broken down in a loving, friendly community based around God.
