Our Vision
At Morchard Bishop C of E Primary School we place great value on the development of children as individuals and providing them with the skills, knowledge and understanding they need to prepare them for the challenges in school and beyond. Christianity is at the heart of all we do.
Deeply rooted, Individually nurtured, Inspired to flourish
Curiosity, Kindness, Courage, Resilience
Jeremiah 17:7–8 says:
“But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.”
This passage uses the image of a deeply rooted tree to describe someone who places their trust in God — stable, nourished, and fruitful even in difficult times.
The Christian faith is deeply rooted in our school, like a tree with deep roots that provides strength and stability. Grounded in the teachings of Jesus Christ and the Christian tradition, we seek to nurture a community where every individual can grow and flourish. The core stability provides resilience during life’s challenges and inspires us to show love and respect for others. Guided by faith, we strive to ensure that the life of our school reflects the love and example of Christ in all we do.
Individually nurtured within the sight and love of God. At our school, each child is valued for their personal and unique journey. We foster spiritual development in an inclusive environment where everyone is recognised as uniquely created by God, with a distinct purpose. Like a gardener tending to each plant differently, we provide specific care, encouragement, and support so that every child is individually nurtured to develop their unique character. Our nurturing environment offers the safety, relationships, kindness and acceptance essential for healthy growth and development.
Inspired to flourish, we seek to live a nurtured and spiritual life – thriving and bearing fruit in all we do. Flourishing is the growth of every aspect of a person’s life: spiritually, physically, emotionally, socially and intellectually. Inspired by God’s love, everyone is encouraged to make a positive and unique contribution to the world. Our values act as a compass to guide us, giving us courage and a healthy awareness of our thoughts and emotions as we pursue our dreams. As we flourish, we allow our light to shine brightly into our wider community, sharing hope, kindness and faith with others.
Our school values
Our values underpin all our school life and help us to live out our vision each day. We show curiosity as we explore and discover new ideas, kindness in the way we treat others, courage to face challenges and try new things, and resilience to keep going when things are difficult. Together, these values guide us to grow, learn and flourish as a caring and confident community.
