Our Christian Vision

Underpinned by the parable of The Wise and Foolish Builders (Matthew 7:24-27), our school vision takes its inspiration from our local coal mining heritage. Great Preston’s aim is to create a school community where everyone builds on firm foundations to promote self-belief and resilience. We know that hard work and dedication enable us to realise our true talents, live a fulfilling life and ‘believe and achieve together’.
 

Our Vision is at the heart of all we do. It underpins teaching and learning and every aspect of daily life in school. As a school community, we have advocated distinctive values from this, that we believe give our school a core purpose.

Respect, Thankfulness, Compassion and Perseverance.

 The values are displayed in every classroom and corridor and they help to guide the whole school community. These values are our motivation for valuing every child and adult and inspiring us to strive our hardest for the best outcomes for each individual.

Our values are explored through the context of Christian belief and practice. By relating them to Bible stories and readings we are able to explore them and relate our own experiences.

We celebrate our core values weekly in a whole school assembly. Parents and carers are invited to celebrate pupil achievements in relation to each of our four core Christian values.
