Our School Vision and Values

As a Church of England School, our Christian vision is to foster a ‘love of life’ in which all of our children flourish.  Like the mustard seed in Matthew 13.31, we want every member of our school community to grow and thrive, recognising and celebrating our own uniqueness whilst also respecting our similarities and differences.  

We aim to nurture and develop lifelong learners who are inquisitive, passionate and creative. By building self-confidence and self-belief, we promote perseverance and resilience as our children blossom and grow. We inspire our children to learn that incredible things can come from the humblest of beginnings, Jesus said, that faith as small as a mustard seed can achieve great things - even move mountains!  (Matthew 17:20)

At St Berteline’s, our children, staff, and governors came together in a spirit of unity to identify and agree upon our six Core Christian Values. Through thoughtful discussion and collaboration, we carefully selected the values that we believe best reflect the heart of our school community and help make it a nurturing, inspiring, and inclusive place for all.

Love, Hope, Perseverance, Compassion, Friendship and Respect is at the heart of everything we do. Rooted in Christian belief and practice, our school is a place where every child and adult is valued, supported, and encouraged to thrive. We are proud to be a diverse and inclusive community, where mutual respect and understanding are nurtured every day.

Our aim is to provide a caring and stimulating environment that inspires a love of life and a love of learning. We take time to recognise and develop each child’s unique potential - educationally, creatively, and spiritually. Together, as children, staff, families, and governors, we grow as one family - united in purpose, rich in diversity, and grounded in faith.
