Our Christian Vision 

‘I press on towards the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenwards in Christ Jesus.’ Philippians 3 v 14

Together we experience every day as an exciting adventure that never stops.

We treasure time close to home but are ready to expand our horizons, exploring beliefs, visiting different lands, and celebrating cultures. We discover characters who have made a difference, both great and small.  Side by side we wrestle with mathematical monsters and scientific beasts. We create the unimagined – works of pure beauty. We savour the victory when we accomplish each quest before moving on to the next. We learn to fight the fear of failure and joyfully celebrate every success.

At Bures, we dare to dream big – embracing the adventure within.

Values – a value is a principle that guides our thinking and behaviour.

The Governors have identified five values which are core to all we do:

Excellence / Integrity / Collaboration / Inclusivity / Ambition

In addition to the six Christian values we uphold:

Responsibility / Tolerance / Friendship / Forgiveness / Compassion / Courage

 

Strategic Objectives

The Governors have set the following strategic objectives to drive improvement through the School.

Children’s Achievement:

Provide a rich curriculum which excites and challenges every child to adopt a growth mindset to learning. We will nurture a special interest in every pupil, whether it be academic, sporting, artistic or musical. We strive for achievement with enjoyment.

Community Focused:

To work closely with the local community and churches, to build a strong relationship that enriches the learning of pupils, supports the community, and embeds a Christian ethos within the School.

Staff Development:

To value our staff and governors and their development, to ensure we have passionate individuals who deliver high quality learning every day.

Engaged Parents:

To communicate and engage with our parents to enable them to be active in the education of our pupils.

Learning Environment:

Utilise all our physical assets to their maximum, and maintain high standards of behaviour, to ensure that pupils can learn in a safe and positive environment.

 The governors will use these success measures to provide an indication of whether the strategic objectives we aim to deliver are being achieved.
