At Whinmoor St Paul’s we believe that every child is a unique child of God and lives in a world that God has made. We believe that all adults and children should be given opportunities to ‘Let their Light Shine.’ We have a loving, caring community, underpinned by our Christian ethos, in which everyone, regardless of our differences, feels valued, nurtured and secure.
We have very high expectations of our children and ourselves. We are proud of the happy, safe and ‘magical’ environment we have created. We aim to prepare your children for a future full of learning which will enable them to play a full and active part in the world they inherit. Our Christian Values and British Values support our academic successes and will be key factors in your children’s future lives; we look forward to seeing them flourish within our aspirational, secure and happy environment. We believe that everyone is on an everlasting learning journey. Adults and children at Whinmoor St Paul’s are provided with opportunities to ‘Let their Light Shine’ so that we can strive to do the best in everything we do, so that we can significantly impact the learning of ourselves and others. We want to ensure that we are constantly adapting to meet the needs of all of our learners in this exciting and ever-changing society.
Everything we do is underpinned at all times by the Christian ethos of valuing the individual and, in this way, we seek to fulfil the spiritual, mental and physical capabilities of every child—the future adult members of our society.

And to do all this as a caring community based on strong Christian values. Our vision and values are theologically underpinned by the Bible verse
In accordance with The Department for Education we aim to actively promote British values in schools to ensure young people leave school prepared for life in modern Britain. Pupils are encouraged to regard people of all faiths, races and cultures with respect and tolerance and understand that while different people may hold different views about what is ‘right’ and ‘wrong’, all people living in England are subject to its law.
The key values are:
As a Church School we celebrate the importance of faith in children’s lives. Through collective worship, RE and PSHE we help children to look at their own faith in the context of the wider world.
We promote tolerance and understanding. Children are taught to ask questions and feel confident to discuss issues of individual spirituality.
We have a wide range of faiths represented in our pupils and children are taught to value and understand each other’s faith. We are a community of many faiths – we are welcoming of all faiths and no faiths.
