Howick Church of England Primary School

Vision and Ethos.

Guided by our values we endeavour to motivate and inspire our children to become confident, independent and resilient learners.

Through our exciting, progressive curriculum we aspire to equip our children to meet the challenges of our changing world, so they can embrace it with knowledge, education and deeply embedded values. 

We are inspired in our mission by our faith that “I can do all this through him who gives me strength” (Philippians 4:13)

Our vision is rooted in the Christian belief that when we turn to Jesus Christ, we are able to do things we never dreamed were possible and that, just like Paul, we can be content by depending on Christ who will give us the strength to persevere in any situation.

Our vision statement reflects our determination to provide a rich, varied and inclusive curriculum, developing the whole child. This vision, along with our six Christian values are deeply embedded in our community who all understand and are sustained by the knowledge that, with God’s strength, we can do all things. 

Howick Prayer and Reflection Area

 Many thanks to Bishop Philip for officially opening our Prayer and Reflection Area.

Class 4 led an amazing service talking about the importance of prayer.  We look forward to using this area to spend time with God.

Following the service, the Bishop visited all of our classes before enjoying afternoon tea with Class 4, our Foundation Governors and our Diocesan Advisor Ann Aspden.  

Our goals for the year

We have used our vision and curriculum driver words to inspire our goals for the year. 

Pupil Voice

Our Year 5 and 6 children have been exploring our Vision Statement together.  

 "I can do all this through him who gives me strength" Philippians 4:13

We have asked our children to reflect on what this means to them and the impact that it has on their lives.  The document below shows some of their fantastic responses.
