Our Mission Statement

Coleshill Church of England Primary School is a voluntary aided Church of England school in which the governors and staff aim to make the school a place where Christian love and commitment is expressed in everyday life. We therefore aim to provide a happy, caring, safe and stimulating school where everyone is valued and respected and there is a high level of expectation in all aspects of school life.

All children have access to the National Curriculum and RE through a wide range of educational opportunities, enabling them to reach their full potential.

We encourage partnership with parents, governors, the church and the local community. Through these aims we hope that children will become active and responsible members of society.

We want our children to...

• be able to use initiative
• be self reliant
• have self respect
• be aware of others
• be responsible
• have sense of their own worth

...so that they can grow into happy and successful young people.

We want our children to learn to cope with the changing world and to develop an appreciation of their own cultures.

We want them to learn moral and spiritual values with a Christian ethos.

Above all we aim to encourage an enthusiasm for learning that lasts a lifetime.

But please remember as we do:

All children are different - they look different, they behave differently, they develop and learn at different times, rates and ways. For their sake, don’t compare them with other children! With your help and support we can help each one to achieve his or her potential.

A child who lives with tolerance, learns to be patient.

A child who lives with encouragement, learns confidence.

A child who lives with praise, learns to appreciate.

A child who lives with fairness, learns justice.

A child who lives with security, learns to have faith.

A child who lives with approval, learns to like himself or herself.

A child who lives with acceptance and friendship, learns to find love in the world.

Every child matters to God

Every Child Matters is a government initiative that was launched in 2003. Its main aims are for every child, whatever their background or circumstances, to have the support they need to:

• Be healthy
• Stay safe
• Enjoy and achieve
• Make a positive contribution
• Achieve economic well-being

As a Church of England School, we work closely with the Diocese of Birmingham and the Diocesan Board of Education, which seeks to offer the highest quality of education and care for all pupils. They have linked this initiative with the Christian values that we strive to convey in our school:
