Christian Ethos
At St Luke’s Church of England Primary School we aim to provide an ethos which is deeply Christian, whilst at the same time serving the common good within our community. We take the words from Ephesians 5.1: ’You must try to be like him. Your life must be controlled by love’ seriously and believe that all within our community should be able to flourish and achieve their full potential.
We realise this through the following areas:
Our School Vision
High expectations, by all, for all, reflecting the example of Jesus
Our School Mission
Through creating a physically and emotionally secure environment, we aim to develop children with active minds and bodies, an understanding of the world around them, compassion for others, and the courage and confidence to be themselves.
Our Aims & Objectives
Our aim is that all our children have a wonderful experience throughout their time at St Luke’s – to know that they are safe, loved, respected and valued for their uniqueness and individuality. We want to develop and nurture talents and make sure all our children are excited about learning and about life.

Character Virtues
Children are introduced to (and revisit) character virtues at St Luke's, and they are encouraged to consider what each virtue means to them, their families and friends, and how they see those virtues being demonstrated in the world around them. We hope that by promoting a reflective approach to personal qualities, children will develop an understanding of the importance of individual behaviour and how it helps to shape the community in which they live and work.

British Values
At St Luke’s, we are committed to actively promoting British values and this forms part of our wider work in school with children in relation to their Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural education (SMSC). At the heart of these values, lie good relationships in which teachers and students work together towards common goals. These values are integral to our school vision and ethos and are reinforced regularly in a variety of ways.
