MilldownCE Academy

Our values are well established across school and are rooted in Christian faith. However, their universal appeal means our values are adopted, shared and lived out by all members of our school community. Our values form the basis for children's personal development and shape all aspects of school life.

The following values are shared, owned and understood by our whole school community, including parents, governors, pupils, and staff. We have adopted St. Paul’s analogy of ‘The Fruit of the Spirit’ which are our core Christian values and underpin the ethos of the school.

LOVE

Care for one another unconditionally.

JOY

Find joy not just in earthly things and not from triumphing over someone else, but rather through counting our blessings, growing an appreciative heart, and knowing how precious each of us is to God.

PEACE

Know that we are safe in God’s hands no matter what may happen.

PATIENCE

Act with grace, tolerance and forgiveness.

KINDNESS

Show people that they matter and that they have value by giving time, listening, showing empathy and concern.

SELF-CONTROL

Learning to be responsible for ourselves – and the importance of holding ourselves in check even in difficult situations.
