Our Vision
Our vision is based on us, like the body of Christ, being a team. The body is not supported by one person, but by all of us.
We are strongest working together in unity, which is key to living life in harmony so that we can do God’s will. This reflects the biblical text:
For the body is not one member, but many
1 Corinthians, 12:14
At Little Waltham C.E.V.A. Primary School, we work together to inspire others towards excellence. We do this in a distinctively Christian environment where our vision and values underpin all that we do.
Our Values
Our values of Compassion, Courage, Perseverance, and Forgiveness chosen by the children, staff and governors, reflect the aspirations we have for each pupil, to inspire a high level of spiritual and moral reflection and to challenge them to take responsibility for their own actions.
