1. Leadership in a Christian Context and how it Applies in Schools

4. “Trust lies at the heart of a functioning, cohesive team
“Trust lies at the heart of a functioning, cohesive team. Without it, teamwork is all but impossible…
In the context of building a team, trust is the confidence among team members that their peers’ intentions are good, and that there is no reason to be protective or careful around the group. In essence, teammates must get comfortable being vulnerable with one another... The vulnerabilities I’m referring to include weaknesses, skill deficiencies, interpersonal shortcomings, mistakes, and requests for help.”
The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, Patrick Lencioni

6. “Vision is a picture of the future that produces passion”
Bill Hybels, Courageous Leadership

7. “I have come that you may have life in all its fullness.”
Jesus said:
“I have come that you may have life in all its fullness.”
John 10 v 10

9. “We draw people to Christ not by loudly discrediting what they believe, by telling them how wrong they are and how right we are, but by showing them a light that is so lovely that they want with all their hearts to know the source of it.”
Madeleine L-Engel

10. Wisdom – Hope – Community - Dignity
Church of England Vision for Education
We offer a vision of human flourishing for all, one that embraces excellence and academic rigour, but sets them in a wider framework. This is worked out theologically and educationally through four basis elements:
Wisdom – Hope – Community - Dignity

11. Growing Disciples wider, younger, deeper

12. Compelled by the love of Christ we will seek to
Welcome 7000 new disciples into the fellowship of Christ and his church
Commission 1000 Younger Leaders equipped and inspired to serve the purposes of God in the church and society
Plant or graft 75 New Worshipping Communities to increase our reach in telling the story of Jesus to all, with a special focus on the young and the poor
Develop 25 Resource Churches in every part of the county, growing to give themselves away
Serve as 1 Church contending for the gospel in every community and sphere of public life in city, county and region

14. “Human dignity, the ultimate worth of each person, is central to good education…(our commitment to this is) rooted in each being created in the image of God and loved by God, shaped by the person, teaching and example of Jesus.”
Church of England Vision for Education

16. Joy in learning is a mark of the good teacher and well-taught pupil
Joy in learning is a mark of the good teacher and well-taught pupil. The Book of Proverbs (8:30-31) poetically imagines wisdom playing before God at creation. Play and playfulness are part of life, and any education that does not communicate joy, wonder, amazement, fascination and delight has failed.
Church of England Vision for Education

17. ‘God loves with a great love the one whose heart is bursting with a passion for the impossible.’
