School Vision

Here at Selsted, in our unique rural setting, we provide a happy, safe, stimulating environment where children develop their love of learning.  Through mutual respect and trust children are given a voice and responsibility.  We are brave, resilient and committed to making the impossible possible through God's loving care.

We believe our vision is brought to life through Jeremiah 17 verse 7-8:

But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord,
    whose confidence is in him.

They will be like a tree planted by the water
    that sends out its roots by the stream.
It does not fear when heat comes;

    its leaves are always green.
It has no worries in a year of drought
    and never fails to bear fruit.

Our Values

As a school community we have been reviewing our school values to ensure they link well with our vision for the school and the way we live each and every day.

We believe that the school values must link directly with both the Christian values and British values.

The following values have been chosen as our six core values in school:

• Friendship (Friends always show their love - Proverbs 17:17)
• Hope (I depend on God alone; I put my hope in Him - Psalm 62:5)
• Respect (So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you - Matthew 7:12)
• Perseverance (I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me - Philippians 4.13)
• Wisdom (If you listen to advice and are willing to learn, one day you will become wise - Proverbs 19:20)
• Trust (My God is my strength in whom I trust - Psalm 18:2)

We will look more closely at one of our core values each term.  

We will continue to work on other key Christian values such as; humility, endurance and reverance.
