Our School
Our Vision and Values
At John Bunyan Primary School and Nursery, our vision is:
“Our school is a place where kindness leads, resilience grows and every learner is inspired to achieve their full potential with purpose and pride.”
This vision guides everything we do, from teaching and learning to relationships and the wider life of the school. We believe that children achieve their very best when they are safe, respected, supported, and inspired.
Our Core Values
Our four school values — PRIDE, ACHIEVEMENT, RESILIENCE and KINDNESS — are central to daily life at John Bunyan. They are intentionally woven into our curriculum, our Code of Conduct, and the way we engage with pupils, parents, staff, and the wider community. Children are encouraged to talk about our values, understand what they mean, and apply them in school and beyond.
Our Code of Conduct
- Show PRIDE – in yourself, your work, and your school.
- ACHIEVE – by trying your best and celebrating success.
- Be RESILIENT – keep going, even when things are challenging.
- Be KIND – to yourself, to others, and to our community.
Embedding British Values
At John Bunyan, British Values are promoted alongside our school values through teaching, pupil voice, curriculum activities, and the spiritual, moral, social, and cultural development of all pupils.
