St. Luke's Halsall Vision Statement
My commandment is this, 'Love one another as I love you.'- John 15 v 12
At St. Luke’s Halsall we value each person and believe that there is something extraordinary and wondrous in everybody as unique creations of God.
We aspire to let the love of Jesus run through all we do and are, so shaping us as a family of God, which enables everyone to grow and flourish, spreading His love to all those we meet through our service to others, now and always.
This empowers each one of us to live out and be challenged by our mission of,
'Inspiring lives, building futures together with Jesus'
Our visions and values are at the core of everything we do. They underpin our teaching and learning, are at the heart of our daily collective worship and shape the environment and ethos of our school. We aim to surround the children in God's love and nurture them as they grow into confident, caring and happy citizens.
At St. Luke's Halsall CE Primary School, we aim to provide the very highest quality of education within a Christian context.
The school aims to serve its community by providing an education of the highest quality within the context of Christian belief and practice. It encourages an understanding of the meaning and significance of faith and service, and promotes Christian values through the experience it offers to all pupils.'
'To nourish Christians in their faith, encourage those of other faiths, and challenge those of no faith.'

'Church schools stand at the centre of the Church's mission to the nation.'
