Vision and Values

Our faith

In accordance with the Church of England, St Hilda’s ethos for education is shaped by our Christian vision and one that encourages the spiritual, physical, intellectual, emotional, moral and social development of our students. As a school community, we embrace diversity and respect freedom of religion and belief, enabling all to flourish.

Our vision

Ephesians 2:18-20 says “God is building a home. He’s using us all—irrespective of how we got here—in what he is building. He used the apostles and prophets for the foundation. Now he’s using you, fitting you in brick by brick, stone by stone, with Christ Jesus as the cornerstone that holds all the parts together. We see it taking shape day after day—a holy temple built by God, all of us built into it, a temple in which God is quite at home.”

Our values

Our six school values: wisdom, hope, community, dignity, equality and diversity demonstrate our Christian character and are the standards by which we live out our collective vision as a school community. Each value is championed by one of our Houses and is linked to one of the wonderful charities that we support.

Our opportunities

Students and staff have daily opportunities to develop their spirituality and live out our vision and values.  Examples of this include:

Daily acts of collective worship, daily reflection opportunity, God-centred assemblies, whole school worship services, celebration of Christian festivals, community engagement including Pre-loved sales and compassion projects.  Please click here to view the Chapel timetable.
