Everything we do is done with love...

Where is God in our school?

We seek the good in everyone and everything.

We are a Church of England school - established on this site in the Victorian era to benefit the children of the parish who could not afford education. Our historic foundation is recorded in the school’s Trust Deed by Thomas Young (dated 1664) and established on its present site by Andrew Percival, George Henry Percival and Thomas Aris in 1897.  


We are firmly rooted in the Christian principles that inspired those early Church schools and today we willingly and actively seek to serve an ever expanding, wide and diverse community. 


Our values and mission are born from the Christian faith and that sense of duty to provide all children with a fair and equal start in life; but they are excellent virtues for any member of society to uphold, no matter what your belief system. 


Based on our statement of spirituality, we believe that God can be felt in our school through the good in everyone and the work that we do. There is a tangible force for good moving through our school every day. 


We believe that through the living out of our values and our core ethos of love (and therefore compassion) our children will leave us with the tools and the understanding of their mission to make this world a better place. 


We are building what we value and everything we do is done with love - as we grow together in God's love.

Prayer Stations

Fostering a child's spiritual development means, for us at Pattishall CE Primary, enabling them to find a sense of peace. Giving them time to ground themselves and experience awe and wonder in the natural world.

It is also about offering quiet, reflective time - an opportunity for prayer in addition to our daily communal prayers. 

We are developing Prayer Stations and Reflective Corners around school to allow children to chance to explore their spiritualty.  

Global Neighbours

Golden Thread - Diversity, Inclusion and Global Citizenship

Linking to our core Christian value of love and our Biblical Theology that everything we do is done with love, and also our curriculum vision that is underpinned by those values, we have embarked on the Global Neighbours Accreditation. 


From our Golden Thread (see The Pattishall Curriculum Page for more details) of 'Diversity, Inclusion and Global Citizenship', We want our children to have the skills to flourish in a diverse and complex society, knowing that they can change the world. 


The Global Neighbours accreditation scheme will be verified by the Church of England Education Office and will consist of three levels - bronze, silver and gold.


To achieve accreditation, schools will demonstrate how they are fulfilling criteria relating to:

  • school leadership
  • teaching and learning
  • collective worship and spiritual development 
  • pupil participation in active global citizenship
  • community engagement


How will schools benefit from the scheme?

Global Neighbours provides a framework for thinking about global citizenship education in schools. You will get ideas for curriculum and collective worship activities to equip you to weave a global perspective into your current curriculum provision, which will support you in helping young people to become active global citizens.


The scheme aims to increase pupils’ understanding of the root causes of poverty and injustice, as well as engage and empower pupils as agents of change in the transformation of our world. Participation in the scheme will support schools that are seeking to advance the Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural (SMSC) development of pupils, strengthen the ‘promotion of fundamental British values’, promote critical thinking across the curriculum, and strengthen links with the local community. Global Neighbours can also enhance Religious Education provision in schools by increasing pupils’ knowledge and understanding about why and how Christians, along with people of other faiths and those of no faith, want to change the world to one where everyone can live a full life, free from poverty.


By helping pupils to claim their voice as global citizens, participation in the scheme will support schools develop and showcase their work in helping their pupils to become active global citizens and courageous advocates for change in the world, from a local to global level.

In addition, the scheme will help church schools fulfil the Church of England’s Vision for Education that is ‘deeply Christian, serving the common good’ as well as supporting some of the SIAMS requirements for character development: hope, aspiration and courageous advocacy.

 Our Year Group Christian symbol is the Trinity. The Christian doctrine of the Trinity (Latin: Trinitas, lit.

 Our Christian symbol is the dove.  The use of a dove and olive branch as a symbol of peace originated with the early Christians, who portrayed the act of baptism accompanied by a dove holding an olive branch in its beak and also used the image on their sepulchres. ... The dove and olive branch also appeared in Christian images of Noah's ark.
