Vision and Values

Our Vision: "From Small Beginnings, Great Things Grow"

At Weeton St Michael’s Primary School, we are a small school with a big heart and even bigger aspirations. Inspired by the parable of the mustard seed, we believe that the smallest of beginnings can lead to remarkable outcomes. Here, every child is nurtured and guided to reach their full potential, with faith and community as their foundation.

"The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed... Though it is the smallest of all seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants." — Matthew 13:31-32

Our Core Values

Our values are woven into every part of school life, shaping our interactions, ambitions, and learning experiences. Guided by our Christian ethos, we embrace these five values:

  • Happiness
    We create a joyful, inclusive environment where every child feels valued. Learning here is exciting, and every child is encouraged to celebrate their unique gifts and talents.

    • We promote a positive, inclusive space filled with laughter, creativity, and support.
    • Celebrating achievements, big and small, fosters a love of learning.
  • Empathy
    Empathy strengthens our community. We encourage students to understand and care for one another, building a culture of kindness and compassion.

    • Active listening and kindness are central to how we interact.
    • We guide students to consider diverse perspectives and support each other.
  • Achievement
    Every child is capable of achieving great things with the right support and encouragement.

Living Our Values Together

At Weeton St Michael’s, our values are more than words—they are the way we live each day. By embracing Happiness, Empathy, Achievement, Respect, and Trust, we help each child grow from small beginnings into individuals who achieve great things. Though we may be small, our faith, dedication, and ambition allow every child to make a big impact on the world.
