The vision of the Diocese of Coventry is, ‘Together, pursuing life in all its fullness’ based on John 10:10 and reflects the Church of England’s vision for education: human flourishing for all, one that embraces excellence and academic rigour, but sets them in a wider framework. 

Our RESPECT values are grounded in the story of God through history and the belief that God through Christ wants to bring us life in all its fullness (John 10:10).

In our schools, we seek to see each person as bearing the image of God, unique and precious with talents and gifts to celebrate. We value each individual, seeking the best for everyone and building up the common good. We offer opportunities for each person to flourish and pursue their interests with passion and find in school a place to belong.

Followers of Christ are called to build the kingdom of God together, and we encourage a culture which cares for others, works for inclusion and values integrity in relationships and behaviour. Our common life together recognises our interdependence and the need to build a community based on trust and ethics and rooted in the love of God for everyone.

As Jesus modelled servanthood by washing his disciples’ feet, so we too are called in service to one another (Philippians 2:3-4).

Our relationships are built on the understanding that we belong together as the family of God, and that each of us has talents and gifts that are unique to us (1 Corinthians 12). This means that we collaborate together for the common good, recognising that we need one another.
