‘The school’s Christian vision creates its beating heart. A recent review of the vision ensures that it reflects the needs and aspirations of the school’s context and community. It successfully encourages people to recognise themselves as unique, loved and talented individuals and learners with the potential and opportunities to shine.’
Vision and Leadership
‘The vision instils in pupils the belief that they can succeed in their personal relationships and learning. Consequently, they are empowered to thrive at Whinmoor St Paul’s. Leaders know the difference that the vision makes because they robustly monitor its impact.’
Vision and Curriculum
‘Throughout the school, adults support and nurture pupils to grow as learners and to explore and find their strengths, interests and talents.’
‘Adults clearly articulate the many ways they adapt learning and opportunities to encourage pupils to reflect on what they see, hear and do.’
Worship and Spirituality
‘Worship is a cherished and important part of each school day. Offering adults and pupils the opportunity to worship and reflect in different spaces and groups extends their experience of meaningful worship.’
‘Leaders evaluate the standards of teaching and learning in RE carefully and with rigour. They know that the subject is well taught and offer support and guidance where helpful.’
Vision and School culture
‘Central to this welcoming and nurturing community is the vision-inspired commitment that people know and understand that they are cherished.’
‘They work as a committed team to help pupils shine in their achievements, learning and relationships. Staff create a culture of equity, dignity and support that respects the rich diversity of heritages, abilities and talents.’
Vision, Justice and Responsibility
‘Pupils learn about justice and responsibility through worship, their lessons, and the fairness they experience within the school. People are generous with each other and strongly support fairness and equity within the school.’
Religious Education
‘RE has a high profile within the school. Pupils recognise it as an important subject and explain its relevance to their lives and the lives of others.’
‘Leaders evaluate the standards of teaching and learning in RE carefully and with rigour. They know that the subject is well taught and offer support and guidance where helpful.’
At Whinmoor St. Paul’s our children are given every possible chance to prosper, whilst holding their own beliefs, faith and culture and respecting others, as we support them on their journey towards adulthood.
Whinmoor St. Pauls – every child is a unique child of God and the future adult members of our society.
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.
At Whinmoor St Paul’s we believe that everyone 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.
Our vision is underpinned by Matthew 5:14-16
“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead, they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”
