School Values and Vision

Butleigh C of E Primary School offers creative and engaging learning experiences within a safe and nurturing environment. Every child at Butleigh is valued, and we encourage each pupil to flourish in a supportive and stimulating setting. We believe in empowering every child to achieve their full potential.

We are committed to ensuring that all children are successful in their learning and are encouraged to celebrate their achievements.

Community is at the heart of our school. Our staff, governors, parents, and children all contribute to our inclusive and caring environment. Our skilled staff know our children and families extremely well, and we work together to build a strong community that enriches learning for all pupils.

We are fortunate to have a number of supportive volunteers from our local area who regularly visit and contribute to school life.

Our vision is central to everything we do:

‘Aspire to be your best self by living, learning and growing together in God’s love.’

This vision underpins our teaching and learning and creates an environment where pupils become respectful, kind, and happy citizens. It enables children to develop and demonstrate their Butleigh Brilliance.

Children at Butleigh are taught in small mixed-age classes, allowing us to tailor learning to meet each child’s individual needs. We make full use of our outdoor spaces, including Forest School sessions for all children throughout the academic year.

As a Christian school, we promote the following values:

  • We recognise that we are all different and special
  • We work together and show respect for one another
  • We listen to others and consider their feelings
  • We care for our school and support those beyond our community
