Our Christian values are the basis for everything we do at Albourne and they play a key role in the development of our pupils academically, emotionally, morally, socially and spiritually. Vision and Values Vision & Values The Albourne Way Vision and values Everything we do at Albourne Church of England School is underpinned by John 10:10 ‘Jesus said, “I have come that you may have life in all its fullness.”’ When developing a ‘Culture of Excellence for ALL’, we encapsulated life in all its fullness within The Albourne Way. The Albourne Way came out of our vision to nurture and enable all of our children to flourish and be the person that they are capable of being. The Albourne Way encourages both the community and our children to be caring citizens, confident and independent learners as well as responsible and resilient individuals. They will use the Christian Values, learnt and understood during their time at Albourne School to guide and support them to experience life in all its fullness as they progress from Primary School towards adulthood. Our Christian values are the basis for everything we do at Albourne and they play a key role in the development of our pupils academically, emotionally, morally, socially and spiritually. We encourage pupils to consider how we model our values through our actions in daily life. We teach our pupils these key values: Perseverance Aspiration Respect Responsibility Kindness Courage Our school’s vision is that, by learning and living these values, our pupils will develop and experience ‘life in all its fullness.’ (John 10:10) Find out more about The Albourne Way .

Our churches Our school is situated within the Parish of Albourne, which is part of three parishes. These are known as ASCAT: Albourne, Sayers Common and Twineham, and lie within the Diocese of Chichester. Our local churches are St Bartholomew's Church in Albourne and Christ Church in Sayers Common. Throughout the year we attend services at these churches. Religious Education At Albourne, we deliver Religious Education (RE) in line with the West Sussex Agreed Syllabus. This provides an effective RE programme of study to enable pupils to have the knowledge, understanding and skills necessary to hold balanced and informed conversations about religions and worldviews. Through RE, we seek to give our children a rich variety of experiences from which they can develop knowledge, understanding and awareness of all faiths. RE also has a significant role in the development of pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural understanding. It promotes respect and open-mindedness towards others with different faiths and beliefs. We encourage pupils to develop their sense of identity and belonging through self-awareness and reflection. In line with the Church of England’s Statement of Entitlement (2019), we aim for all pupils: to know about and understand Christianity as a diverse global living faith through the exploration of core beliefs using an approach that critically engages with biblical text to gain knowledge and understanding of a range of religions and world views appreciating diversity, continuity and change within the religions and worldviews being studied to engage with challenging questions of meaning and purpose raised by human existence and experience to recognise the concept of religion and its continuing influence on Britain’s cultural heritage and in the lives of individuals and societies in different times, cultures and places to explore their own religious, spiritual and philosophical ways of living, believing and thinking Find out more about our teaching of RE on our Religious Education page.
