At Esh Church of England Primary School we have 3 core Christian values which are central to everything that we do in school. We can remember them using the acronym CPR:-
- Compassion
- Perseverance
- Respect
Our Christian Values are displayed throughout school for visitors to see and in every classroom.
Adults and children are all encouraged to model Christian Values and give time to reflective practices.
We believe these values are empowering our pupils to develop their spirituality and guiding them in personal development as effective learners and good citizens.
We ask children and staff to demonstrate and discuss when they have shown each value in their school and home lives. These values underpin all of our work at school and in our daily lives.

Archbishop Youth Trust Young Leaders Award
Children in Year 1 and Year 6 both complete the Young Leaders Award during their time in school. This is an award created by the Archbishop Youth Trust which develops pupils’ character education and role as global citizens.
Whilst completing the award, the children learn to:
- Explore the concept of leadership
- Investigate the stories and impact of great leaders in society
- Consider the importance of serving others
- Examine how to bring transformation to communities
- Take action to ‘be the change you want to see
The award culminates in a community action project and these have included community litter picks, random acts of kindness, and developing outdoor areas in school.
