Burton Green’s Christian Vision and Values

Jesus said, “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” (John 10:10b)

Our Vision

“Live Life in all its Fullness” (John 10:10b)

At Burton Green, we believe that every child is a precious individual with unique gifts to share. Our vision is to nurture a community where everyone can flourish - growing in confidence, curiosity, and character. We provide enriching experiences and a broad, creative curriculum that inspires a lifelong love of learning, while fostering a safe and supportive environment where every child feels valued and encouraged to reach their full potential.

Our School Values

Our ethos is rooted in three guiding principles:

• Value yourself - we encourage children to develop self-belief, resilience, and a positive sense of identity. We help them to recognise their strengths, take pride in their achievements, and care for their own well-being.

• Value each other – we promote kindness, respect, and empathy, celebrating the uniqueness of every individual. Belonging and support are at the heart of our school, making sure every member of our community feels valued and cared for.

• Value the world we live in - we inspire children to be responsible citizens who care for the environment, celebrate diversity, and contribute positively to society. By encouraging curiosity and responsibility, we prepare them to make a difference in our ever-changing world.

A Holistic Approach to Growth

At Burton Green, we are committed to the spiritual, moral, cultural, mental, and physical development of every child. By combining academic excellence with emotional well-being and personal growth, we prepare pupils not just for the next stage of education, but for life itself.

Our daily practice is enriched through attachment awareness and emotional coaching, ensuring that children are supported in building resilience, managing challenges, and developing the skills to thrive.

A Nurturing and Inclusive Community

We celebrate the diversity of our school family and respect the many cultures, beliefs, and faiths represented within it. Guided by our Christian foundation, we promote compassion, forgiveness, and understanding, encouraging children to learn from one another and embrace difference as a source of strength.

Every child is seen, heard, and valued at Burton Green. By recognising their individuality and potential, we create a nurturing environment where all pupils are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to succeed.

Our Christian Distinctiveness

Our Christian distinctiveness underpins our vision and values, guiding us as we help children to flourish as thoughtful, caring, and capable individuals. Through our collective worship, spirituality, and daily practice, we encourage every member of our community to live out our values - valuing themselves, valuing each other, and valuing the world we live in.
