Values in scripture and story
Each of our Christian Values is embeded and reinforced using stories from scripture. The children are told these stories at the start of each term when our value changes and these are also provided in every classroom so the children can read them alongside the Bible story from the class Bibles.
A list of each of the values and the corresponding story and scripture is provided in the following list.
