^{"Every Child Matters to God"}

At Clipston Endowed VC Primary School, in keeping with our mission statement, everyone is valued as an individual and helped to flourish in their own unique way within a Christian environment. Our Christian Vision, ‘Every Child Matters To God’ is at the core of everything we do.

Through explicit teaching about Jesus and the Church, and the development of prayer and worship in school, we provide daily experiences where children live the gospel values; have respect for the opinions and beliefs of others, and grow spiritually. We see this as our core purpose, and we strive to ensure that each child fulfils their God-given potential - academically, socially, emotionally and spiritually.

We are lucky to have very close links with our Parish Church which is only a short walk away. The children regularly attend All Saints' Church, at least once each term, as our whole school family joins together in celebrating significant liturgical moments in the year. Reverend Tom is a recently appointed incumbent, and he is becoming familiar to the children as a regular visitor to our school, delivering whole school worship.

Be Kind ~ Be Your Best ~ Be Happy
 

Ethos

Recognising its historic foundation, Clipston Primary School seeks to serve its community by providing a connected and coherent education of the highest quality. We endeavour to preserve and develop our distinct religious character in accordance with the principles of the Church of England.

The school lives out its Christian Values – Thankfulness, Kindness, Justice, Love, Forgiveness, Responsibility and Courage – and all those essential human values, which are common to good, kind and tolerant people of all faiths and none, through the daily experiences it offers to all its pupils.
 

Aims

Clipston School aims to provide every child with high quality teaching and learning. It is the school's philosophy to foster within our pupils independence, a high level of self-confidence, a deep sense of self-worth, and an understanding and deeper appreciation of our Christian heritage.
To achieve this, we aim to:

• Enable all children to achieve their full potential, both academically, socially, personally, and morally in order that children expect the best of themselves.
• Promote spiritual development and the ability to grow and flourish as human beings.
• Support children in building relationships which reflect Christian values.
• Deliver a broad, relevant and challenging education, which is of a high standard and appropriate to an individual child's needs.
• Promote high standards of behaviour based on mutual trust and respect, developing responsibility and fostering self-discipline.
• Promote good citizenship, thus enabling individuals to make valuable contributions to wider society.
• Ensure equal opportunities for all.
• Provide a welcoming and stimulating learning environment in which everyone feels safe, happy and secure.
• Develop a sense of pride in belonging to Clipston Primary School.

To achieve these aims, staff and governors work in partnership with parents, carers and the local community for the benefit of all the pupils.
