At Wrawby St Mary's we value our foundations as a Church of England school; we welcome all children into our school family and ensure that the experiences they receive in school stem from our Christian vision, incorporate our core values and inspire them through our thread of pioneers and leaders. The foundation of our Christian ethos is rooted in the letter of St Paul to the Romans. His letter talks of hope - keeping hope in times of struggle, because God's love surrounds us and helps us stay strong. We strive to apply this throughout the school day and beyond in a relevant way.
Our Trust vision of 'You are the God who sees me' (Genesis 16:13) supports our school vision of ensuring 'a future for all'. We offer all children at Wrawby St Mary's the same opportunities through a broad and balanced curriculum and creating a community through which we all can grow.
Within the Diocesan Vision we aim to empower all in our school community to 'love one another with humility, kindness and justice' and we incorporate the four key areas of the Church of England Vision for education when planning opportunities, curriculum developments and enrichment projects:
Our vision is underpinned by Joe Shoe's: Joe is a typical Wrawby child, and we have been following their journey since they started with us in September 2020. We consider what we want life to be like for Joe; what is it like to walk in their shoes through their school journey? How do we, through our Christian distinctiveness, ensure that Joe and all the other children at Wrawby St Mary's flourish?
Joe's shoes remind us that every child is unique, every child is on their own journey and it is our pledge that all children will receive the support, the care and the skills they need for the future - inspired by our overarching value of hope.
We celebrated Interfaith Day on Wednesday 13th November across both Wrawby St Mary's and East Ravendale CE Primary School. We started the day with shared worship online, thinking about why it is important to have a mutual respect and understanding of people of different faiths. The children then enjoyed a variety of activities throughout the day - church visits, designing stained glass windows, designing and planning a shared worship space and much more. The day ended with shared worship again where we shared our experiences of the day and thought about what the world is like in terms of diversity and opportunity for all. We looked at 'if the world were a village of 100 people' and were amazed by some of the facts we found.
