Our Vision
“Living by our Christian Values: Together in Faith, Hope and Love”
At Horbury Bridge Academy, our vision is rooted in Christian values and inspired by the heritage of our local community. This vision reflects our belief that every pupil is a unique and valued part of one family of God, and that by working together, we can make a meaningful difference in the world.
Our vision takes inspiration from the words of Rev’d Sabine Baring-Gould, curate of Horbury Bridge, who in 1864 wrote the hymn Onward Christian Soldiers. This hymn, created specifically for the children of Horbury Bridge, was intended to feed their spirit and instil determination to live out Christian values as they marched to their mother church in Horbury.
The hymn draws from significant Bible passages:
- 1 Corinthians 13:13: Highlighting unity in faith, hope, and love: “We are not divided, all one body we, one in hope and doctrine, one in charity.”
- Ephesians 6:13-18: Emphasising living by Christian values, symbolised as the “armour of God”: truth, righteousness, peace, faith, and prayer
This vision continues to reflect our commitment to the community and parish, and it underpins our ethos of fostering a spirit of togetherness and service.
