At Holm Cultram Abbey C of E School we want children to enjoy everyday in school. We take pride in our philosophy of developing the whole child and place a strong emphasis on delivering both high quality education and high quality spiritual, personal, social and emotional development.

As a Church school our vision encourages our children to 'flourish in the wider world, recognise their personal talents and live through their Christian values'. 

The school community worked closely together to consider which values 

were important to HCA.

Our core values of Love, Trust, Friendship, Courage,

Truthfulness and Respect are at the heart  of everything

we do and are under pined by God's teachings. We communicate and

celebrate God's messages by reflecting on relevant bibles stories,

questioning their meaning and demonstrating our understanding of

them in our everyday lives.

​

The children worked together to create our school motto.

They wanted to reflect our Christian values through a representation

of what each day should look and feel like in our school. Therefore our

school mission is:

​

We Listen. We Learn. We Love. We Laugh 

​

We achieve this mission by:

​

Listening to God, learning together, loving ourselves and laughing with joy.

This is supported by our whole school aims which centre on developing the whole child and reflect 'The Church of England's Vision for Education'
