Together, Achieving Our Best – Every Child, Every Day
Our Vision in Action
Our vision guides everything we do at Batheaston Church School. Its simple language helps children understand exactly what it means for their learning and behaviour. Teachers and pupils use the vision every day. Children know that achieving our best means trying hard, learning from mistakes, showing resilience and supporting one another. This helps them see learning as a journey and encourages a positive attitude to challenge.
The vision also shapes how adults behave. Staff model resilience, respect and kindness, showing children that everyone is always learning and improving. Because the vision is used in lessons, assemblies and daily interactions, it becomes something the whole school lives out—creating a consistent, values‑driven curriculum where every child aims to achieve their best, both academically and personally.
“That they may have life, life in all its fullness’ John 10:10
At our school, we believe that every child deserves the very best every single day. Our vision, “Together Achieving our Best – Every Child, Every Day,” reflects our commitment to working in partnership with families to help every child thrive. Guided by the words of Jesus in John 10:10 — “That they may have life, life in all its fullness” — we strive to create a joyful, safe, and supportive community where every child can experience life in all its fullness.
The Parable of the Lost Sheep
At our school, we’ve chosen the Parable of the Lost Sheep as a story that speaks to the heart of who we are. In this powerful Bible story, the shepherd notices that one sheep is missing—and instead of staying with the ninety-nine, he sets out with compassion and determination to find the one that’s lost. He doesn’t give up, and when he finds the sheep, he rejoices. This story reminds us that every person matters. We believe our school is like a big family, where no one is forgotten and everyone is cared for. Just like the shepherd, we look out for one another, show kindness, and make sure no one gets left behind—whether in learning, friendships, or wellbeing.
It’s a message of love, resilience, and belonging. And it inspires us every day to be a community where every child feels seen, supported, and celebrated.
Our School Values
At Batheaston Church School, our values help guide everything we do and shape the way we learn, play and grow together. These values are woven through daily lessons, relationships and decisions, helping our children to flourish both academically and personally.
