Welcome to Steyning CofE Primary School

At Steyning CofE Primary School, we are committed to educational excellence by building an inclusive Christian community based on Love where everyone feels valued, safe and supported.

Our Vision

"Do Everything in Love; we do our best in all we do and all we say with God's help."
From 1 Corinthians 16:14

This vision phrase underpins everything we do at Steyning CofE Primary School. It was developed with input from our children, parents, staff and governors, ensuring it truly reflects our whole school community.

We live and learn through our four key pillars:

• A love of learning
• A love for oneself
• A love for each other
• A love for the world around us

These pillars guide our daily practice and shape the experiences we provide for our children.

From our vision and four key pillars, we have developed six core values that guide our school community:

• Love - showing care, compassion and kindness
• Happiness - finding joy in learning and celebrating success
• Respect - valuing ourselves, each other and the world around us
• Collaboration - working together and supporting one another
• Curiosity - asking questions and exploring new ideas
• Bravery - taking on challenges and learning from mistakes

Together, we continually strive to:

• Remove barriers to success - ensuring every child can achieve their potential
• Overcome fear of failure - building resilience and a growth mindset
• Widen horizons for all - opening up opportunities and possibilities
• Provide a culture of mutual respect and acceptance - where everyone belongs
• Equip children with skills and values - setting them on the path to achieve their dreams

We provide an education where learning is engaging and purposeful. Our school is dedicated to supporting every child on their educational journey and personal development, enabling them to flourish and make a positive contribution to our community.

When children leave Steyning CofE Primary School, they are well-prepared for their next steps, equipped with the knowledge, skills and values they need to succeed in secondary school and beyond.

Our children and staff have worked together to define what our values look like in practice around the school. This framework underpins all we do and supports our School Improvement Plan, ensuring everything we do meets our vision of doing everything in love.
