At Hardwicke Parochial Primary Academy, our vision is simple but powerful:
“Do everything in love” (1 Corinthians 16:14).
This guides everything we do. We believe that love is at the heart of learning and growing together. We show love for our children, our staff, and our wider community, creating a caring and supportive environment where everyone, no matter their worldview, feels valued.
Within our vision, we hold six Christian core values that help us live it out each day: friendship, forgiveness, courage, perseverance, respect and service. These values shape our learning, our relationships, and the way we support one another. If we show friendship and forgiveness we are showing love to ourselves and others. By showing courage and perseverance, we are showing a love of learning. By showing respect and service, we are showing that we spread our love to others around us and in the wider world.
With love and these values at the centre, our children are able to learn, flourish, and develop the skills they need to live full and meaningful lives. Our vision isn’t just words on a page - it’s something we live out every day in our classrooms, playgrounds, and community.
