Ropsley Church of England Primary School is very proud is very proud of it's Christian foundations. We are delighted that we have strong links with both St Peter's Church within the village and the community.

Our vision is to be a caring, happy and inclusive church school that is at the heart of our community. We strive to provide an excellent education which develops a life-long love of learning in a global context. We see all members of our school family as valued and precious in the eyes of God. We seek to do this through an innovative, engaging and inspiring curriculum that encourages us all to flourish.

In God's image, we strive and shine: with happy hearts and inspired minds

In 1 Samuel, the child hears the voice of God calling and responds, 'Here I am, Lord!'

In our school, we help everyone know that they are valued and special in the eyes of God. We want them to know that they can be like Samuel, flourishing in themselves and growing to serve others through their own uniqueness. 

St Paul tells the people of Corinth that the Christian community is like a body – made of many parts. We want the members of our school community to know that the gifts each person brings is a valued part of the whole. We strive to empower our school community to see itself as part of God's global creation.

Through the work that we do, we seek to model God's bountiful grace and love for everyone.
