Home School Agreement

School vision

The school's vision is for all children and adults to reach to achieve their best, rooted in the belief that God desires everyone to fulfil their capabilities

“I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full” – John 10:10

At Reigate Parish, we believe that every child and adult is special and made by God. God wants each of us to flourish in our character, grow in learning, kindness, and faith, so we can enjoy life and share His love with others.

Values

✝️ Ready – Prepared in Faith and Purpose

Being Ready means we trust God to help us try our best, keep going when things are hard, be creative and use our talents to do good things. – Inspired by 1 Peter 3:15 “But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect.”

✝️ Respectful – Honouring God and One Another

Being Respectful means showing love, patience and care for everyone. We treat others kindly, look after the world, be responsible, act with justice and remember that everyone is important to God. – Inspired by Romans 12:10 “ Be devoted to one another in love. Honour one another above yourselves.”

✝️ Safe – Caring for Others in God’s Peace
Being Safe means making sure everyone feels welcome, nurtured and looked after. We forgive, help each other, and build a school where all feel at peace, cherished and included. – Inspired by Isaiah 1:17 “Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow.”

Aims
Our Christian values are woven through all we do. Inspired by Christ, we aim to form children who shine with courage, compassion, and curiosity — ready to live out their faith and make a difference in God’s world.
