Mission statement: “Treat others exactly as you would wish to be treated yourself” - Luke 6:31
The 3Be's: 1) Be observant and thoughtful 2) Be kind and empathetic 3) Be flexible and reflective
Our vision is a call to empathy, encouraging us to step into the shoes of others. By treating each other with the respect and kindness we wish for ourselves, we create a culture of mutual respect, where productivity and collaboration soar. We aim to grow a community that values learning and humanity towards others, guided by the life and teachings of Jesus, our Christian values, and our 3’Be’s. We aim to support all to feel valued, included and become flourishing individuals, with a heart for others and the world.
Our vision is at the heart of everything we do an guides our interactions with each other and permeates throughout school life.
We have a value for each month that we focus on in collective worship and the children are encouraged to reflect on this and live it out. Each week, in celebration assembly, we have a 'Mission Ambassador' award for children demonstrating our mission statement or one or more of the three be's. We also have a value ambassador award whereby children and staff nominate those who have demonstrated that monthly value.
“Great Gaddesden’s Christian vision is deeply embedded and has a profound impact on the life of the school. The more recent addition of the ‘three Bes’ to the vision has sharpened its focus, enhancing its impact. Consequently, leaders, adults and pupils understand and value it as a crucial guide to their conduct, priorities and attitudes.”
”The Christian vision is an imaginative, effective and compelling response to the context of this small, rural school. This means that pupils flourish through a rich and diverse educational experience."
