Christian Vision in Action
At Clent, we are passionate about ensuring that our children show Christian Values (that underpin our Christian Vision) in their actions, and not just through words;
“Dear Children, let us not love with words or speech, but in actions and in truth”. 1 John 3:18.
To support everyone’s understanding of this, we celebrate examples of all members of our school showing Christian values in action. When we see someone showing Christian values through their actions we recognise this through awarding our Christian Values in Action Certificates, when we come together for celebration worship, and promote these actions through our curriculum and in the classroom.
Engage - The value of community runs throughout our curriculum and everything we do at Clent. We want our children to take pride in their rural community and understand about their heritage and their place and their responsibilities in the wider world. Participation is strongly promoted.
Believe - Much of our curriculum is dedicated to supporting children to understand that belief in oneself and others is key. We dedicate specific lessons to understanding about relationships, celebrating differences, challenging ourselves and just being. We work hard with the children to help them understand this in order for them to live safe and happy lives. We enjoy finding different opportunities to raise children’s self esteem and in turn, helping them to love themselves.
Achieve - We all achieve through a 'rounded' experience. We value growth mindset principles and encourage a culture of resilience and perseverance. We feel that these are skills for life. Academic growth is a part of what we try to achieve: we work hard with children to ensure they have the confidence and the mindset to step up to challenges, take risks, make mistakes in order to be the best learner they can be. We encourage children to set ambitious goals, have visions of their future and what they want to achieve. Everyone is special and has skills and talents.
