Mission Statement
The Methodist Schools’ Mission Statement
The Mission Statement for schools coming under the direction of the Board of Management for Methodist Schools reads:
The Methodist Church is engaged in education as part of its Christian mission in the world. Its schools will seek to extend the Methodist ethos and character and contribute to diversity in education.
The schools aims:
- To be caring Christian family communities committed to the development of the full potential of each individual, having regard for their personal attributes in addition to their academic aspirations
- To maintain high educational standards in all their academic, cultural and sporting activities, stimulating excitement in learning and requiring discipline in study whatever the ability of the child
- To work with and in the communities they serve
- To worship as Christians in the Methodist tradition; to uphold Christian values in practice as well as in theory and to make religious education a strong feature of the curriculum whilst welcoming members of other faiths (and none) in a spirit of openness and tolerance
- To encourage pupils in a critical examination of the standards and values current in society and to discover and develop a personal faith to guide them throughout their lives.
