We are one family;

Love for ourselves, for each other and for the world

'Let all that you do be done in love’ 1 Corinthians 16:14.

Our school vision: 

We care about our local and global community and share God’s love and wisdom in all that we do. As members of our Stoborough School family, children become confident individuals, who develop a life-long love of learning and a passion and commitment for improving the world around them. Our pupils learn to take care of themselves and show care to each other, enabling them to flourish and make a positive difference.

Rooted in Theology

Love is a choice rooted in confidence, compassion, and curiosity. The Bible uses different words for love, and the core value we focus on is Agape—the unconditional love of God for His people, and the love Christians are called to show to others. Whereas our common notion of love is emotional, Agape is an act of will. It is not just about feelings, but intentional actions that transform how we relate to ourselves, others, and the world. This love is generous, compassionate, and committed to the wellbeing of others. In his letter to the Corinthians, Paul calls believers to reflect God’s love in their actions. The ultimate example of Agape is seen in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. At Stoborough, we strive to love ourselves, one another, and the world in the same way Christ loves us. 

Our School Values:

Our core values are at the centre of our school Christian ethos; curriculum and wider provision; policies and planning; day-to-day interactions and decisions.

^{Our values guide pupils' personal development as effective learners, confident individuals and responsible citizens. Our children have regular opportunities to reflect on our values and show the values in action. Each Friday, in Celebration Worship, we recognise School Value Champions, who have demonstrated our school values. Their value leaf is added to our values tree in the hall.}
