At Bakewell 

​‘Bakewell C of E Infant School is a happy, safe and caring place where all our children shine. 

Our Christian vision is 'Be a light for others, so people will see God in the good things you do'

• provide a stimulating curriculum and supportive environment for all children 
• enable children to understand and apply Christian values in their everyday lives
• create an open, positive, tolerant and supportive atmosphere where each pupil can learn to celebrate their individuality as part of our school and wider community in Britain today 
• promote the spiritual, moral, cultural, social and emotional development of pupils within the school to enable the children to take their place as responsible citizens
• involve parents, staff, governors, the wider community and the children themselves in providing an education for all pupils
• cultivate an atmosphere in which children feel able to talk, listen and are listened to
• value our environment, teach respect for our world and learn how to care for the planet now and for future generations
• promote the importance of a healthy lifestyle both physically and emotionally
• provide a safe, secure and happy environment in which all children will flourish 
• equip children with the skills and knowledge required to live in a technologically advanced and ever changing world
