Values and Ethos

‘Together we grow, together we shine’ is our school vision; it reminds us that we must all work together to GROW into the very best versions of ourselves.

As part of CDAT, Clutton Church of England Primary School believes in lifelong learning, aiming to equip our children to live life today and for tomorrow, rooted in Christian love.

Our vision is underpinned by the Parable of the Mustard Seed.

Matthew 13: 31-32.

In the Bible, the Mustard Seed is often seen as a symbol of faith. The Parable teaches us to have faith in Jesus, faith in ourselves as individuals and faith along our learning journey.

Clutton children understand that the Parable teaches us: ‘We can all GROW to be GREAT and SHINE in God’s love’

“The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds on earth. Yet when planted, it grows and becomes the largest of all garden plants, with such big branches that the birds can perch in its shade. When children start our school, they are like the tiny mustard seed and as they move along their learning journey, we work hard to provide them with every opportunity to shine, flourish and grow into the very best versions of themselves ready for the next stage of their learning journey.
