VISION: School of Inspiration
MISSION: Preparing for a bright future through innovative and exciting learning
VALUES: Determination, Honour, Believe
We are determined to provide a Heaven to Earth experience for all in our school (1 Samuel:16-17). We believe that everyone has an untold potential for a bright future developed with us. We honour one another to ensure the best outcome in every way possible for everyone (Ecclesiastes 4:12).
Recognising their historic foundation, The Minster Nursery and Infant School and The Minster Junior School will preserve and develop their religious character in accordance with the principles of the Church of England and in partnership with the Church at parish and diocesan level.
The schools aim to serve their community by providing an education of the highest quality within the context of Christian belief and practice. They encourage an understanding of the meaning of faith and promote Christian values through the experience they offer to all their pupils.
The Minster Nursery and Infant School and The Minster Junior School are Church of England schools, institutionally rooted in the Christian faith. The Schools actively develop the full human potential in each person, whether pupil, governor, parent/carer or member of staff.
The Schools’ ethos of care and their commitment to justice are the foundation of their aims in educating the whole school community to make its proper contribution to society.
The Schools therefore take a positive stand against racism. The schools actively draw attention to the achievements and positive contribution to Britain and the world made by all ethnic groups and will not tolerate any form of racism.
At The Minster Nursery and Infant School we aspire to a culture that is responsive to the needs and diversity of the children in our community. Our commitment to inclusion ensures the entitlement of all our children to a broad and balanced, relevant and stimulating curriculum, which is delivered in an environment that will have the greatest impact on their learning and provides the resources to enable this to happen.
The School has the highest expectation of all members of its community. The ethos of the school is based on caring for others and building thoughtful relationships between everyone within its community with the knowledge that with rights come responsibilities.
