Christian Community
Our School Values
At Aughton St Michael's Church of England Primary School, our Christian vision shapes every aspect of school life. We believe that every child is uniquely gifted by God and should be encouraged to flourish academically, spiritually, socially and emotionally within a loving and supportive community.
Guided by our motto, Encourage, Guide, Support, Celebrate, we work together to help every member of our school family recognise and develop their God-given talents, grow in confidence and character, and make a positive difference in the world.
"We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us."
Romans 12:6
Our vision is lived out through the values and qualities we seek to nurture each day:
Kindness - treating others with dignity, respect and compassion.
Honesty - acting with integrity and speaking truthfully.
Communication - listening carefully, speaking thoughtfully and building positive relationships with God and one another.
Koinonia (Community) - serving others and living as a caring, inclusive school family.
Resilience - facing challenges with courage, perseverance and faith.
Independence - growing in confidence, responsibility and self-belief.
Enquiry - developing curiosity, wisdom and a love of learning.
Through our curriculum, collective worship, relationships and wider opportunities, we encourage children to become courageous, compassionate and reflective individuals who are equipped to flourish and contribute positively to their communities.
"Encourage one another and build each other up."
Thessalonians 5:11
Worship at St Michael's
Collective worship is the beating heart of life at Aughton St Michael's. Each day, our school family comes together to worship, reflect and grow in faith through prayer, Bible teaching, song and shared reflection.
Rooted in our Christian vision of Encourage, Guide, Support, Celebrate, worship provides a welcoming space where everyone is valued and encouraged to flourish. Through worship, children explore Christian values, engage with Scripture, learn from the teachings of Jesus and consider how these can shape their lives and actions.
We are grateful for the strong partnership with St Michael's Church and regular contributions from Reverend Andrew, who helps deepen children's understanding of faith and spirituality.
Our worship is inclusive, uplifting and relevant, inspiring children to reflect on their own beliefs, develop respect for others and become the very best version of themselves as members of both our school and wider community.
