Our Vision and Values

As a Church of England School; our vision and values are at the heart of everything we do and play a vital part in our pupils’ education, spiritual, moral, social, and cultural development.

Our School Vision:

St Cleopas is an inclusive community that nurtures and develops opportunities for lifelong learning on our journey walking alongside Jesus, opening our eyes and hearts to all.

Our School Vision is inspired by this Bible verse:

“As I have loved you, so you must love one another, then everyone will know that you are my disciples”. John 13:34

At St Cleopas, we aim to develop all pupils so that they achieve and succeed. This happens in a caring, welcoming and loving environment based firmly on our Christian values:

Friendship – A friend loves at all times Proverbs 17:17

Our pupils chose Friendship because:

• If you value friendship, you will have people around to support and look out for you.
• Having friends makes things fun and you feel full of happiness.

Respect – And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them. Luke 6:31

Our staff team chose Respect because:

• When someone is respected, they feel valued and appreciated and can grow.
• It is a huge part of our school life and community, working together for a common good.

Joy – I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. John 15:11

Our Church chose Joy because:

• It is important to rejoice and thank God for all our blessings.
• It makes you and other people feel uplifted when you are filled with joy.

Compassion – Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. Ephesians 4:32

Our Governors chose Compassion because:

• It is the most important value in a human.
• If you show compassion, kindness and love, just as Jesus did, you can live a full and fruitful life.

Forgiveness – Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Luke 6:37

Our courageous advocates chose Forgiveness because:

• Forgiveness is important because if no one practices forgiveness everyone would fight.
• If no one forgave, the worries and hatred would be carried around – instead, we need peace.

Courage – For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but one of power, and of love, and of sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7

Our families chose Courage because:

• If you don’t step out of your comfort zone then you will live a life where you are scared of everything.
• Courage is not the absence of fear; it is acting despite fear knowing that with God’s protection and guidance, we have nothing to fear and can conquer anything.

A message from our vicar. Siân

‘As school governors, we are all involved in the life of the pupils and staff, supporting them where we can. The school vision is summed up in the verse, “As I have loved you, so you must love one another, then everyone will know that you are my disciples.” (John 13:34). So, that is what we are all working towards, building a community based on love, as Jesus did.

We all come into school at different times, some of us pray regularly for the school; the children come into church at least once every half term and take part in an act of worship. We do some joint ventures together, for instance, in July 2023, two members of staff and two church members abseiled down Liverpool Anglican Cathedral, raising money for the Food Pantry; and some of the children have visited the Food Pantry, too.

If you want to know more and see how our relationships are flourishing, please get in touch.’
