Our Vision

‘Within the love of God, working together, growing together for all to flourish.’

At Brixton St Mary’s C of E Primary School we have Christian values that form the basis of all that we do.

These are values that we like to think about in all aspects of school life so that we can work together, grow together and flourish as individuals and as our school community.

Children develop their understanding of these values throughout the year. We give the children opportunities to think about each ‘Value’ through the school curriculum, general school life and also our school worship.

Each value is linked to a story from the Bible.  OT links to stories from the Old Testament and NT refers to stories from the New Testament.

Click on the story link below each value to find that story. This will help to explain what each value means.
