Our School Vision
" Everyone Matters " Luke 10. 25- 27
Our school vision that has been developed through close collaboration with all stakeholders states: ‘Everyone Matters’.
Kingsholm embodies this vision with its truly inclusive culture. As a school we are proud of the diversity that exists and celebrate this in all that we do. The inclusive nature of our school sits at the heart of decision making, planning and the delivery of our curriculum and wider opportunities.
Our vision is grounded in the biblical passage Luke10.25-27 and we strive to ensure the message of ‘Everyone Matters’ throughout all that we do.
Positive relationships underpin all decisions and actions, and this was recognised in our recent OFSTED 2025 – ‘Kingsholm is a school that welcomes and accepts everyone, regardless of background. Caring relationships exist between pupils and staff.’
Why choose Luke 10.25-27 as our core Bible passage?
This Bible passage has both theoretical and practical components, the latter helps all pupils to engage more easily with the Bible reading. It is a passage that states the overall summary of Christian life and the Bible (Love God and Love your neighbour as yourself) and begins to unpack this in a way that helps us imagine ourselves into different responses.
Some of the connections between the Bible passage, our vision and the curriculum threads are highlighted below:
Our vision is lived out in many ways within our school:
We welcome all into our Kingsholm family.
We value/treat everyone equally.
We recognise that many of our pupils, staff and members of the community have additional needs or require additional support. As a school we strive to understand and meet these needs.
We strive to provide aspiration and experiences to those that are not able to access this in their own lives beyond the school.
We recognise the diverse nature of our community; the range of languages, cultures and backgrounds; the multi-faith community that we serve and ensure that our school lives out its vision, develops its values and supports all in a truly inclusive manner that allows everyone to thrive and feel part of our community.
Our aims and teaching
We aim to provide high quality education within the context of the Christian faith and practice. We promote an understanding of the meaning and significance of faith and seek to encourage Christian standards and values through the quality of experiences offered here. We seek to promote pupils spiritual and moral growth and to provide a basis for their lifelong learning.
We believe that children need a caring consistent environment where they are treated with respect and where their well-being is paramount.
We strive to reflect the love of God, love of life and love of learning in all that we do.
We consider honesty and integrity to be central to all aspects of school life.
We foster the intellectual, emotional, social and spiritual development of all our pupils.
We ensure Religious Education (R.E.) and spiritual, moral, social and cultural development are very strong features of the school as they help children understand the faith of others and the importance of listening and reflection as key parts of the faith journey.
Our RE Curriculum has been carefully designed to teach about a range of faiths including Christianity. It is taught in every year group during RE days.
We believe that each child should leave our school with:
- A sense of moral and spiritual awareness
- A sense of awe and wonder about the world around them
- A love of learning and the desire to achieve high standards
- A growing ability to relate to and communicate with other people
- A sense of their citizenship of the school and the wider community
