Justice and Responsibility

The Christian Gospel says that every person has a unique task to do, with God, and for God, whether they know it or not. We hold and courageously advocate the conviction that there is something mysterious, and potentially wonderful, in everybody.

How does the school’s theologically rooted Christian vision create an active culture of justice and responsibility?  

At Southborough C of E Primary School, we are courageous advocates in what is best for members of our community, locally and nationally.

We understand that life can be challenging at times and that all people, including friends, family and global citizens will face difficulties that they need help to persevere with in order to overcome them. To ensure that we and our community Give, Inspire and Flourish Together we have been and are supportive of a range of charities in our local area, nationally and globally.

Within the community our school is a beacon of light that stands up for what it believes in. Our Christian Values (Hope, Peace, Joy, Forgiveness, Perseverance and Compassion) and British Values (Rule of Law, Tolerance, Democracy, Mutual Respect and Individual Liberty) ensure that opportunities to discuss current world issues, to challenge injustice and to engage in activities that can bring about change are always present. Such as:

• Zero Discrimination Day.
• National Storytelling Week.
• World Book Day
• Equality: International Women’s Day
• Litter picking
• Collective Worship planning
• Odd Socks Day - Anti-bullying week
• 40 Days of Lent

We have a long tradition of supporting charities at Southborough. We aim to inspire courageous advocacy and instil our Christian Values in the whole Southborough community this includes participating in, as well as organising, fundraising to benefit a wide range of causes, including locally, nationally and globally.  Some of these include:

• The Hope Hume Trust - Uganda
• Comic Relief
• Children in Need
• British Heart Foundation
• The Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal.
• Harvest Festival Food Donations.
• Community Larder at Christchurch
