A Christian Ethos

Our children are Stutton STARS  (let your light shine before others that they may see your good deeds)  

Matthew 5:16

Our vision for education is aligned with Church of England Vision for Education.

At Stutton Church of England School, we greatly value our link with St Peter's Church and the local diocese. We work alongside them to ensure that we offer a spiritual dimension to the lives of young people. 

The children love working with Reverend Jenny Seggar and her team.

We visit the church twice each term to celebrate Christian festivals and special occasions including Easter, Christmas and Harvest. We enjoy welcoming in visitors from the church, including Reverend Jenny and Reverend Duncan, on a fortnightly basis to lead collective worship along with our 'Open The Book' team. We are inclusive and serve equally those who are of the Christian faith, of other faiths and of no faith. Each year we celebrate Interfaith Week.  

Religious Education and World Views is taught using the Emmanuel Project- at the heart of this teaching in Church Schools is Christianity, but pupils learn about and are taught to understand and respect other faiths and world views. Our collective worship is invitational and gives pupils a choice to join in the prayer or reflect on the words and message.

We place a great deal of importance on encouraging children to live our Christian values at school - values that we believe will help create academically, emotionally and socially successful children and adults. This focus on specific values is an excellent strength of the school and something that we hold in great importance. We use our values to promote positive behaviours and attitudes at the school.
