Vision & Values

Our Federation Vision

‘Let your light shine’. Matthew 5:16

Let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

At The Nightingale Federation we do this by giving all children opportunities, skills and knowledge to make excellent progress; develop a range of skills for learning and life; have a positive attitude to challenges, themselves and others; to ‘be green’ and care for their environment now and in the future; show respect and have compassion and for their immediate environment, their community and the wider world; have high aspirations for what they can achieve; develop sporting and fitness skills and know how to live a healthy, happy life.

Our School Christian Values

Our school has twelve values with strong Christian links which form the foundation to everything we do at The Nightingale Federation. These values derive from our theologically rooted Christian vision of letting your light shine by the work carried out with the children, staff and community of the school, and form part of a two-year rolling programme of collective worship at our Academy.

We explore each value in depth each half term. Through collective worship we link our focus value to songs of praise, reflective practice, Christian bible lessons, spiritual development applied through teaching the ‘core sense of self’ and how these lessons impact upon our everyday lives.

Our school vision and the values the children learn about, help us to ensure that God is at the centre of our school: in the way we learn, play and thrive together.

British Values

At Nightingale Primary Academies Federation, we are committed to ensuring that all children take part in meaningful activities that enable them to learn and explore the rule of law, the role of democracy, and the values and culture intrinsic to British society. These experiences form an integral part of our curriculum, directly linking to our own school values and culture.

Our activities will encompass learning about British traditions, festivals, and the four Saints of the British Isles. These learning experiences will be delivered through a variety of methods, including during regular lessons and our Whole School Culture Days. Through these enriching experiences, all children will develop a deeper understanding of mutual respect, tolerance, and individual liberty. They will also learn about the importance of the rule of law and democracy in maintaining a fair and just society.

Through these experiences, all children will develop a deeper understanding of how to become successful members and future leaders within any community they are part of.
