As a school, our vision, “no one left out, no one left behind,” applies to our whole community. Our Christian values of Hope, Community, Respect and Love underpin this. We consider this in every act and decision we make.

Our Christian foundations have led us to place inclusivity and diversity at the heart of our school.  We dedicate ourselves to ensuring our children are loved, can flourish and have a sense of belonging so everyone can fulfil their God-given potential.

''So speak encouraging words to one another. Build up hope so you’ll all be together in this, no one left out, no one left behind.”

1 Thessalonians 5:11 (msg)

 

Our Values:

 

 

The graphic below shows how our vision, values and theology are interwoven, rooted in scripture and the foundation of who we are.

 

 

   

Spirituality

• Spirituality at St Osmund’s CE Middle School is considered to be ‘Moments that are bigger than ourselves.’
• We use the vehicle of ‘Windows, Mirrors, Doors’ to explain and understand these moments.  These are referred to weekly in our worship and particularly in our reflection books. 
• In lessons, we refer to Windows, Mirrors, Doors when these moments occur.  These can be planned for (e.g. protest songs in music lessons) or more spontaneous. 

Our Bible Stories

The stories below reinforce the teaching of our school values of Hope, Respect, Community and Love.  These are introduced and revisited through our collective worship cycle and further taught through our RE curriculum.
