School Mission, Vision and Values
At Coton CE (VC) Primary School, we believe in giving our students the keys to flourish, guided by the empowering principles found in our faith. Inspired by Matthew 16:19, we recognise that keys do more than open doors—they unlock potential, bind us to responsibility, and enable untold opportunities for growth. We aim to provide the 'keys' to academic and spiritual enrichment, nurturing a community where every individual can thrive.
What is our vision?
We offer our children the keys to unlock their own stories and to express these with confidence.
What is our mission?
We teach the whole child, head, hand, heart and health. Our passion for pastoral care promotes the well-being of everyone in our community and we believe this is an essential part of releasing people to be the best they can be.
Our curriculum is rich, creative and inspiring, engaging the interests of our students, maximising opportunities in our context and preparing our learners for tomorrow’s challenges.
Oracy and story are at the heart of what we teach and Coton children enjoy a cohesive learning journey as they move through the school.
Christian values underpin everything we do. These are modelled by the adults in our school and recognised and celebrated in our children.
Our learning environment is organised and calm, promoting acceptance and respect; offering our children a safe place to learn. Our school feels like family.
What are our values?
We are proud of the Christian values and faith upon which our school community is built. We put the children at the heart of all we do here and, after much discussion, our children have chosen five values that they feel best sums up what Coton C of E (VC) Primary School is about:
They are: caring, creativity, cooperation, challenge and courage.
By the time a child leaves Coton C of E Primary School they will have had the opportunities to:
