Christian Distinctiveness

Church of England Education

Deeply Christian, Serving the Common Good.

I have come in order that you might have life - life in all its fullness.  John 10:10

The Church of England has articulated an ambitious Vision for Education that is fundamentally Christian and aimed at promoting the common good. Their educational mission is to empower children, young people, and communities to thrive through an education that fosters wisdom, hope, community, and dignity.

The Church of England’s document, Flourishing For All, outlines it’s key principles for their desire for every child to learn in an environment where they are loved, supported and respected.  They state that there is no place for bullying in their schools.  Along with the Church of England’s vision for Education: Deeply Christian, Serving the Common Good there is a focus for schools to serve the children, young people and families within their community and an increased focus should be on those from vulnerable groups. 

At Bentley St Paul’s our theologically rooted vision focuses on togetherness and through the teaching's of St Paul in Romans 8v28 encourages us to work together for the good of all those who love and trust him.  Our vision is rooted in God's pathway for us.  

Bentley St Paul's is deeply embedded in its church community and is founded on strong Christian values which underpin everything that we do. Our committed team of staff and governors strives to deliver an inspiring, inclusive and engaging education that allows every child to excel academically, socially, and emotionally whilst understanding about the Christian faith and the impact it can have on their lives.  We want them to feel a sense of belonging, to progress and succeed, to feel safe and secure, to actively participate and to have ambition and hope for the future.  

Growing together in faith, love and trust, we will succeed.
