Ethos and Values
As a school we have high expectations of what can be achieved with the right levels of challenge and support, for pupils and for ourselves. We expect everyone to actively engage with the learning process, including our parent community, to ensure consistency of approach and to embed key learning.
Our vision which is visibly enacted by all staff and Governors is clearly laid out on the clouds below:
We also aim to promote the moral, spiritual, physical and cultural development of all children.
Moral development is an important part of education and one which begins at an early age. At this school our aim is to teach children the value of the following:
- telling the truth
- keeping promises
- respecting the rights and property of others
- acting considerately towards others
- helping those less fortunate and weaker than ourselves
- taking personal responsibility for one’s actions
- self-discipline
- the school promotes the belief that bullying, unkindness, irresponsibility and dishonesty are unacceptable
- the school promotes British Values
As children grow and develop they will learn why such behaviour is not acceptable and begin to make their own moral decisions about other matters
It is important that children try things out for themselves and learn to be positive about their successes and where they need to try harder.
All members of the school staff take great care with the welfare and safety of the children and expect all pupils to behave in a safe and co-operative way. The school has a Therapeutic Behaviour Policy, which is available for any parent to read.
The Therapeutic Behaviour Policy incorporates the Bullying Policy and the Anti-Racism Policy and can be found within the policy section of our website.
