Our Christian Values

The core values we embrace at Woodchester Endowed Church of England Primary School guide each and every aspect of our daily school life. 

In July 2024, the school community reviewed and simplified our six values to Generosity, Friendship, Forgiveness, Hope, Trust and Courage which not only imparts what we say, but informs the people who say it.

We are very proud of the values demonstrated throughout the Woodchester community. Each term we learn about a Christian Value. These values are discussed and reflected upon during worship times and in school life. Regardless of one's beliefs, these values are integral to leading a positive, rewarding and fulfilling life. Everyday we are lucky enough to witness young people demonstrating these values with each other. Everyday we are privileged in helping young people understand the world around them. Everyday young people make us smile! 

Our values have also been linked to key Christian festivals and six key bible stories which we use to help our children understand more of the value, why it is important and how we can all show these values in daily life.
