Lancaster Christ Church is a caring school with a strong sense of community. We value the uniqueness of every child and are committed to a fully inclusive learning environment.

With Christ at our centre, we encourage all children to grow and learn surrounded by love and a feeling of belonging. We strongly believe that every child matters, value all individuals and celebrate diversity.

We want our children to become confident, resilient, independent learners with a strong sense of self-worth and a caring attitude towards others.

We encourage everyone in our school to 'Have faith...’in yourself…in others… in God’, because

"Nothing will be impossible with God."

Luke 1:37

Our Core Values:

Staff, children and governors have shaped our core school values, which reflect some of the Christian values that are needed to fulfil our school vision statement, and provide a framework for how we conduct ourselves, both within and outside of school:  

Service: “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” 1 Peter 10 

Love: “For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son. God gave his Son so that whoever believes in him may not be lost, but have eternal life.” John 3:16 

Perseverance: “I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.” Philippians 4:13 

Friendship: “Encourage one another and build each other up.” 1 Thessalonians 5:11 

Respect: “Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.” Romans 12:10 

Kindness: “Do to others as you would have them do to you.” Matthew 7.12 

We aim to:

• ensure the distinctive nature of our Church school with the Christian Faith underpinning all that we do.

• create a nurturing environment where everyone can feel safe, supported, and valued.

• involve parents, carers, the church, and the wider community to enrich children’s learning and cultural capital.

• provide an ambitious, relevant, and coherently planned and sequenced curriculum that supports children’s ability to know more, remember more, and be able to do more.

• equip our children with the knowledge, skills, experiences, and attitudes they will need to successfully contribute to our future society.

• enable all children to reach their full potential through high quality teaching, targeted academic support and wider approaches.

"Pupils enjoy attending school. They arrive each day ready to begin their learning. Pupils get along with one another. In lessons, they respect each other’s views and live up to the high expectations that leaders have of them. Pupils are polite and courteous. Children in the early years are inquisitive and demonstrate a positive attitude to learning."
