“Life in all its fullness”  John 10:10

Vision

At St. Paul’s we provide high quality, inclusive education in a safe, nurturing and supportive environment. The provision is underpinned by our core Christian values of wisdom, love and welcoming community. All members of our school community are valued and respected equally, so that everyone can have a positive attitude about themselves and others. We aim to nurture "life in all its fullness." John 10:10.

Context

St. Paul’s VA Primary School sits in the heart of Cambridge, welcoming a diverse range of families into its school community. We are a school for our local community and we are enthused and inspired by the wide range of experiences from which we can learn. Hence our vision encompasses that respect for, understanding and acceptance of all. “Life in all its fullness” is key to our vision for a harmonious and respectful society, where all are welcome.

Vision and values

Our vision, life in all its fullness, is the foundation of our school and allows us to:

• Nurture a passion for wisdom so everyone can realise their full potential;
• Respect and love everyone as individuals
• Celebrate and serve our diverse community.

Three core values of wisdom, love and welcoming community, form the basis of work in our school community.
