Vision & Values

Here at Austrey C of E school we are proud to be part of the Birmingham Diocesan Multi-Academy Trust (BDMAT). The Trust recognises that the future for schools lies in formal collaborations; schools working together, in partnership, to offer life in all its fullness for the young people who attend them. Church schools have a very distinctive purpose: Education is taught in an environment where there is a set of values and ways of behaving that stem from and express the Christian foundation of the school. Our schools are about providing an education within a Christian framework for children of the local community of any faith or none; Our Trust seeks to provide a place where church schools and non-church schools who support our philosophy can continue to provide high quality education, knowing that their distinctive ethos will be protected into the future.

Our Christian Vision:

Becoming the person God made me to be: living, learning, loving.

“I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made” Psalm 139:14

Austrey and Newton Regis Church of England Schools are small schools at the heart of their rural communities. They have a living Christian foundation that follows the teaching and example of Jesus who reached out in love and drew in everyone, whatever their status or struggles, beliefs or views.  

The biblical and theological ideas that have shaped our vision are as follows: Created to be like God, we are all individual, different, and precious.

As school families, we treat everyone with dignity, seeing each person as a vital stroke in the creation of the masterpiece which is our school community.  We love and welcome everyone, supporting them in the ups and downs of life and giving them hope for a bright future in their lives and learning. We seek justice for all, embracing those who face challenges in their lives and learning.  We act responsibly, treating everyone fairly but not necessarily the same. We work to ensure that everyone has what they need and we act and speak up for those who don’t.  Equity underpins our commitment to enabling everyone to flourish as the person God made them to be.  Therefore, living like Jesus, we think and act with generous and forgiving hearts in the strategic and day to day life of the school. 

Trusting in God and the teaching of the bible, we are building a culture of trust in which everyone can feel safe; confident that their spiritual, emotional, and academic needs will be met and that their uniqueness will contribute to the unity and wholeness of Austrey and Newton Regis Church of England Primary Schools. 

​Our Christian Values: needs will be met and that their uniqueness will contribute to the unity and wholeness of and Austrey Church of England Primary School.
