Unity and Diversity
1 Corinthians 12: 12-27
We are constantly reminded of the importance of being one cohesive team, whether staff, pupils, families or governors. Together we can achieve so much more, supporting one another, encouraging one another and valuing each person’s unique contribution. As Paul explains to the church in Corinth, no one part is more important than any other, despite how it might initially appear and all the parts are needed, with each having their own strengths. “The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts; and though all its parts are many, they form one body. (1 Corinthians 12: 12). We seek out, recognise and celebrate individual strengths, but also help children to understand how their gifts can be used, and come together with those of others, to build a rich community.
For our school to be the best it can be, to build the best possible all-round education for every child, takes every member of our school community to recognise that they are a unique individual, whilst also being a vital part of the team, grateful for all we have and all pulling together in the same direction, as one.
