Our Vision
Finding the Keys to Life and Learning
At Ashton St Peter’s Primary School, our vision is to help every child discover the “keys” they need to grow, succeed and flourish. We aim to equip our children with the knowledge, skills and values that will guide them both in their learning and in their lives beyond school.
Within our Collective Worship, we explore the life of St Peter, reflecting on his journey and the lessons it offers us about faith, courage and perseverance. This helps us to deepen our understanding of our vision and what it means for our school community.
We were proud to launch our new vision during a special Vision Day, which was supported by the Bishop of Bedford, bringing our whole school community together to celebrate and reflect on its meaning.
Our Values
We are a Values Education school and our values are at the heart of our ethos and everyday school life. They shape the way we learn, behave and treat one another, and are woven throughout our curriculum and Collective Worship.
Each half term, we focus on one value so that children can develop a clear and meaningful understanding of it, and how it can be shown in their daily lives.
Our values also help us to connect with our wider community. For example, we support the Salvation Army during Harvest and mark Remembrance Day with our neighbours, giving children opportunities to put these values into action in real and meaningful ways.
At Ashton St Peter’s, our Christian vision, Finding the Keys to Life and Learning, is at the heart of everything we do. As part of this vision, every class has created a panel for our Big Frieze.
Inspired by the Understanding Christianity resource, the Big Frieze tells the ‘big story’ of the Bible, helping children see how key events and concepts fit together. As pupils move through the school, they revisit these ideas, deepening their understanding of God’s relationship with the world and the Christian faith.
Each class explored one of the core concepts:
Working together, the children reflected on these concepts before designing and creating their own large-scale artwork. The finished Big Frieze is proudly displayed in our school hall as a reminder that every child is part of God’s story and our shared journey of faith and learning.
The Big Frieze supports our Collective Worship, Religious Education and Christian vision, encouraging children to make connections across the Bible, ask big questions and reflect on what these stories mean for Christians today.
Congratulations to our Ashton Cup Winner for 2026. Our winner was chosen based on his reliability and consistent use of our school values throughout his time at Ashton St Peters.
