Christian Life
Today the Worship Club visited the Key to Life Bus! It was a fantastic experience, sharing the story of Jesus through a unique and immersive lesson. The children used floor-to-ceiling touch screens, watched films, and interacted with games and quizzes, helping them explore what Christians believe, and understand how the story of Jesus is the key to Christianity.
Prayer
At the start of this new year, 2024, why not pray the following with your child:
Dear Jesus, Word of God,
Thank you that you care about all my hopes and dreams for this year.
Help me to pray and listen to you.
Help me to trust you.
Help me to follow you.
Show me the way to God the Father and new life with you.
We, at St Michael and All Angels CE VA Primary School provide a happy, nurturing and supportive environment founded on the principles of the Christian faith; helping to develop children’s spiritual growth and moral understanding. All members of our school community are valued and respected, so that everyone can have a positive attitude to themselves, others and life.
Our school’s Christian character contributes significantly to the academic achievement, personal development and wellbeing of all learners. Although we are a church school, we are inclusive to all members of the community we serve. Our aim is that pupils from all faiths and those without a faith feel safe and happy, secure in the knowledge that their beliefs are respected and valued.
The Christian character is evident in the strong sense of respect existing between staff and pupils, who are proud to be a part of our special school.
As a Church school:
- We believe each person is made in the image of God. We strive to reflect the love of God, love of life and love of learning in all that we do.
- We endeavour to build our school on our core values.
- Our aim is to foster the intellectual, emotional, social and spiritual development of all our pupils.
- We believe that children need a caring, consistent environment where they are treated with respect and where their well-being is seen as paramount.
We believe that each child should leave school with:
- A sense of moral and spiritual awareness.
- A sense of wonder and curiosity about the world around them.
- A love of learning and the desire to achieve high standards.
- A growing ability to relate to and communicate with other people.
- A sense of their citizenship of the school and the wider community
