Vision and Values
School Vision
“Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.”
Matthew 7:-24-26
Theological Underpinning of the Vision
In the parable of the wise man, Jesus teaches his followers how to live their lives in the best way they can, by following God and putting their trust in him. In the same way as the wise man builds his house upon the solid foundation of the rock, we aim to build strong foundations for our pupils using the teachings of Jesus Christ. This is reflected in our worship, in our learning and in our daily lives. In the same way, our vision expresses our commitment to providing all children with the tools they need to flourish and succeed.
Our Tottenham school provides a safe, stable and loving environment which provides the firm foundations for children to have the confidence and ability to go beyond the world they already know. We are relentless in our drive to inspire the best outcomes for all children.
As a school, we have worked with stake holders to identify six foundational Christian values that are at the very heart of school life and are lived out each day. These reflect the challenges, opportunities and aspirations of the school community. Our foundational vales are explored and developed through collective worship and learning across the curriculum.
Foundational Christian Values
St Ann's foundation Christian values are at the heart of our school and everything we do. We aim to provide a caring, stable and intellectually stimulating environment where all children can develop their individual potential.
Love, Compassion, Forgiveness,
Endurance, Wisdom, Creation
Parents have strongly expressed their desire for their children to attend the school due to our ethos and the positive, inclusive way we encourage these Christian values. All our children are equally important and we encourage and celebrate our differences.
Staff are passionate about ensuring that the children at school are happy, successful and are making a positive contribution.
We are incredibly proud of our approach to the whole child and also our approach to raising achievement in all aspects of learning, through developing self confidence, motivation, independence, creativity and cooperation.
Trust Vision: Grounded in faith, growing beyond expectations, serving with love
At LDBS Academies Trust, our vision is inspired by the parable of The Mustard Seed (Matthew 13: 31-32). Every school within our Trust, like the mustard seed, holds the potential to grow beyond expectations. Through careful nurture and high aspirations, we create the right environment for this growth. Just as the mustard seed in the parable becomes a thriving tree where birds perch in the branches, so too will our schools be broad and inclusive places of blessing and belonging, in which pupils and adults alike can flourish.
Grounded in faith, inspired by hope and walking in love, we work together to broaden our horizons, to equip one another for action and to empower all for service. As we grow beyond expectations, we bring the transforming presence of the kingdom of God into our communities.
