Our Vision and Mission

Live, Laugh, Learn

At St Cleopas CE Primary Academy, we believe that every child is uniquely created and loved by God. As a distinctive, inclusive Christian school, we are committed to providing an environment where everyone is welcomed, valued and encouraged to flourish. Our mission statement describes St Cleopas as a caring and inclusive community that nurtures lifelong learning and helps children to know God and develop their spirituality. 

Our mission is to nurture a lifelong love of learning through a caring and supportive community where children grow academically, spiritually, socially and emotionally. We want every child to develop confidence, curiosity and resilience, whilst learning the importance of kindness, respect and compassion towards others.

We are proud to serve the Dingle community and proud to be part of All Saints Multi Academy Trust, working alongside other schools to provide the very best opportunities, support and experiences for all children.

Our Christian Foundation

Our Christian faith underpins who we are and how we treat one another. Through worship, prayer, reflection and service, we encourage children to explore faith, develop their own values and understand their place within the wider world.

Our vision is inspired by the words of Jesus:

"Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another." 

This simple message guides our relationships, decisions and actions each day and encourages us to create a school where everyone feels valued, respected and included.

Our School Values

Our school values are at the heart of everything we do and help to shape our learning, behaviour and relationships. These values are friendship, respect, joy, compassion, forgiveness and courage. 

• Friendship – Building positive relationships and supporting one another.
• Respect – Valuing ourselves, others and the world around us.
• Joy – Celebrating life, learning and achievement.
• Compassion – Showing kindness, empathy and understanding.
• Forgiveness – Learning from mistakes and offering second chances.
• Courage – Being brave enough to do what is right.

These values help our children become thoughtful, responsible and caring members of society and are reflected throughout school life. 

Live, Laugh, Learn

Our school motto was created by our children and captures the spirit of St Cleopas. 

Live

We encourage children to embrace opportunities, demonstrate resilience and make positive choices that help them flourish.

Laugh

We believe children learn best when they feel happy, safe and secure. We foster a culture of joy, belonging and wellbeing where everyone can thrive.

Learn

We have high expectations for all pupils and inspire them to become curious, independent learners who are prepared for the next stage of their education and beyond.
