School Ethos and Values
- Our school should be a stimulating and welcoming community in which all children and adults feel valued, able to contribute and where relationships are based on mutual respect.
- Children should be active participants in the learning process and be provided with experiences that maximise their involvement, autonomy and independence.
- We should be an inclusive community where pupils are offered opportunities to grow together, learn together, laugh together and celebrate together.
- We should equip our children with the skills they need to be happy and successful in life, nurturing in them a true and life-long love of learning.
- We are responsible for the development of the whole child. We recognise differing needs and endeavour to meet these needs, maximising the opportunities for children to explore their physical, social, emotional and intellectual potential.
- We should be a community that respects and celebrates diversity.
Promoting British Values
At our school, we ‘actively promote’ the fundamental British values of:
- Democracy
- The rule of law
- Individual Liberty
- Mutual Respect
- Tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs
Please use the downloadable file in the side bar of the page, entitled "Promoting British Values" for a full explanation of this approach.
