Belong, Care, Grow
and Let Your Light Shine
Our Values
Our core values and learner tools are at the root of all that we do at school.
Belong
At West Wittering Parochial Primary School, we believe that every child belongs. We are an inclusive community where everyone is welcomed, valued and celebrated for who they are. We want every child to know that they matter, that their voice is heard and that they have unique gifts and talents that deserve the opportunity to shine.
Our school is built upon strong relationships, nurture and wellbeing. We strive to create a sense of family where children feel safe, supported and happy. By fostering an environment of acceptance and respect, we help every member of our community develop confidence, make meaningful connections and feel a deep sense of belonging.
Care
Kindness is at the heart of everything we do. We encourage our children to care for one another through their words, actions and choices each day. Our school rules promote kindness and respect, helping children learn how to be thoughtful, compassionate and responsible members of our community.
As a church school, we are guided by Christian values and the belief that we live under God's care. We encourage children to look beyond themselves by caring for the wider world, showing generosity to others and recognising the importance of serving their community. Through initiatives such as our Love Thy Neighbour certificates and acts of kindness, we celebrate the many ways our children demonstrate care in action.
Grow
We believe that growth is a lifelong journey rather than a destination. We encourage every child to approach learning with curiosity, determination and a willingness to embrace new challenges. Through our learner tools - be curious, be reflective, be resilient, make connections and get involved - and growth mindset approach, children are supported to be reflective, resilient, resourceful and confident learners.
Growth at West Wittering is about more than academic success. We encourage children to discover their strengths, develop their character and deepen their understanding of themselves and God. By making connections, persevering through challenges and getting involved in school life, our children grow into the very best version of themselves, using their gifts to serve others and glorify Him.
