OUR VISION
"That they may have life in all its fullness." John 10:10
At our school, we understand “living life in all its fullness” as nurturing a life where everyone can flourish. It is not only about personal growth and achievement, but also about helping others to thrive.
At Debden Church of England Primary Academy, our vision is to be a highly-purposeful, caring Christian community, in which our children:
-Progress exceptionally well academically, across a broad and knowledge-rich curriculum
-Develop into confident, compassionate, well-rounded individuals
-Become equipped with the learning and communication skills needed to deal with future challenges
-Create happy, positive memories of their childhood
-Grow to understand our world and care for others through service, kindness, and a sense of justice, becoming active and compassionate global citizens.
OUR VALUES
Our values underpin all aspects of school life. Staff and pupils are encouraged to live out these values in everything they do each day. They guide our words, actions and decisions, lighting the way as we strive to be the best we can be and to fulfil our shared vision of living life in all its fullness.
Compassion
We care for others and show kindness in everything we do.
Respect
We listen to others and values everyone’s ideas and feelings.
Aspiration
We aim high and always try our best.
Endurance
We keep going, even when things are hard.
Wisdom
We think carefully and make good choices.
Creativity
We show joy and curiosity, helping us to discover our talents and use them to make a positive difference.
Our vision is best encapsulated for our young people through the words ‘NURTURE, PROGRESS, and EXCEL.’
