Respect is a core value for our Church school because it is at the heart of Christianity that we are made in the image of God, so each human life is ultimately precious.

In Matthew’s Gospel, Jesus says “Treat others as you would want them to treat you” (7:12). Jesus lives this out in the way that he values everyone equally.

We show respect by valuing ourselves, each other, our environment and by valuing our differences.

As part of our collective worship we help the children learn stories from the bible which show Respect: 

Abraham & Isaac

David & Nahash

Jesus’ trial

Ten commandments

Mother Theresa

Christmas story

Moses & the burning bush

The Good Samaritan

Jesus’ respect of his disciples

Ruth & Naomi

Women at the well

Jesus and the tax collectors

Creation stories
