At Breage C of E School, we follow six Christian values, which impact all areas of school life. These values are...
- Forgiveness
- Respect
- Forgiveness
- Honesty
- Care
- Friendship
Each half term we focus on a particular value within our school and look out for people who are demonstrating this value. We celebrate these examples together and use them to develop each other and ourselves.
As a Church of England School, we are monitored through an inspection called SIAMS. This is an inspection that focuses on the religious aspects of our school including our school vision and how we live this on a daily basis through assemblies, RE lessons, the ethos of the school and staff as well as the social, moral, spiritual and cultural opportunities the school provides for its pupils.
Our last inspection was carried out on 13th June 2017, and we were thrilled to gain the grade of Good.
Collective Worship
- Consider spiritual and moral issues and to explore their own beliefs.
- Encourage participation and response, whether through active involvement in the presentation of worship or through listening to and joining in the worship offered.
- Develop community spirit, promote a common ethos and shared values, and reinforce positive attitudes.
- Celebrate achievements and pupils who 'let their light shine'.
- Pray / reflect about the world around them.
Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural Development
Our children have a clearly defined sense of right and wrong underpinned through Christian values and the teachings of Jesus. In addition, they are guided toward consideration of wider moral issues through their study themes and classroom discussion and debate.
Social
Our children genuinely care about and consider the feelings of others. They take their social responsibilities seriously both locally, nationally and internationally through charitable support and child sponsorship.
The provision we make to support the cultural development of our children is extensive. Their understanding of their own cultural heritage is extended through studies of Cornish art, language and literature.
Through our study of other faiths, multi-cultural focus days and our residential visits we ensure our children fully understand and appreciate Britain as a multi-cultural country.
We have very close links with our Church, Methodist Chapel, The Light & Life Church, Helston and Truro Cathedral.
