Vision and Values
Everything we do at St Barts is underpinned by our Christian Vision:
'Believe. Belong. Become.'
Romans 12:4-5
For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.
Through our shared world view, we want pupils and parents/carers to feel like they truly are part of our school, and the school to belong within the community. Through this sense of belonging, our children become the best version of themselves and simply just ‘really good people’ with the following values:
- OOMPH! …giving everything you have to everything you do!
- Resilience…‘fall down 7 times, stand up 8!’
- Manners…’manners open doors’
- Diversity…’the one thing we ALL have in common’
- Positivity and smiles…’If you see someone without a smile today, let them borrow yours’
- Truthfulness…’tell the truth even if your voice shakes, BECAUSE nothing you confess will make me love you less’
We are ALL so proud of our cultures, and they are what make St Barts such a special and safe place to be .
