Vision & Values

God is Love, so we learn to love; Love to learn; Learn for Life.

Everything that we do at Colwich is driven by our Christian vision, mission and values.

Vision

1 John 4.16

‘God is love. If we keep on loving others, we will stay one in our hearts with God, and he will stay one with us‘.

Our vision is that every child is fully welcomed into our supportive community and discovers their value as a unique child of God. Through the highest quality of teaching and learning, we endeavour to nurture them so that they leave us as confident, curious and resilient life-long learners ready to fulfil their God given potential. We are guided by our Christian values to inspire one another to flourish through life’s journey.

‘Start children off on the right path. And even when they are old, they will not turn away from it.’ (Proverbs 22:6 NRIV)
