Ethos
Stretton Handley CE (VC) Primary School is a Church of England school. Our ethos is founded on Christian teaching and values and in particular recognises the uniqueness and worth of each individual member of the school, both children and adults alike, all of whom are loved by God.
With this in mind the aim of the school is to encourage children to reflect this love by learning to understand and respect the various beliefs, traditions and practices of others, both within the school and the wider community.
Our purpose is to ensure that pupils leave us with a maturing understanding of the experiences and values of others and a growing sense of identity based on personal values and self-worth within a diverse community.

Growing, caring and learning together in faith, hope and love.
At Stretton Handley CE (VC) Primary School, we are committed to growing, caring, and learning together in faith, love, and hope. We strive to create a nurturing, inclusive environment where each person is valued, supported, and inspired to achieve their full potential. Through faith, we establish trust and understanding; through love, we promote compassion and respect; and through hope, we instill resilience and optimism for the future. Together, we aim to prepare everyone to become confident, caring, and capable individuals who will make a positive impact on the world around them both now and in the future.
We make maximum use of our stunningly beautiful setting and grounds to enrich the children’s learning and provide them with ‘space to grow’, in which they will have exciting real life experiences. Through this we will enable them to experience awe and wonder of the world, develop an appreciation of beauty and value the environment around them.
