Keston Church of England Primary School

Our Values

Our school values support us in achieving our vision. Our values were chosen by us as a school, and highlight what is important to us: friendship, love, trust, forgiveness, thankfulness and wisdom. They are important values that enable us to live well-together. They are values that are both naturally present in us, like little seeds, but also values that we strive to nurture fully, so that we can have ‘life in all its fullness’ (John 10:10). They support us to realise that together, as a community- we love, learn and grow.

Friendship

If one falls down, a friend can lift him up. Ecclesiastes 4:10

We look after each other, listen and help.

Love

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast. 1 Corinthians 13:4

We respect and care for each other

Trust

Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God. John 14:1

We trust in each other to make the right choices

Forgiveness

Forgive each other, just as Christ forgave you. Ephesians 4:32

We forgive someone if they have done something wrong

Thankfulness

In everything give thanks 1 Thessalonians 5:18

We give thanks to God for everything we have

Wisdom

I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with all kinds of skills.  Exodus 31:3

We make good use of what we have learnt.
