Our Values

We will nurture our pupils into successful citizens of the future and help them 'be the best they can be' by instilling our core values of Respect & Kindness, Responsibility, Teamwork, and Growth Mindset.

Respect & Kindness

The icon for Respect and Kindness features two figures, one with their arm around the other. The figures are designed in simple, clean lines in black and white, symbolizing care, support, and companionship. Respect and Kindness is central to creating a supportive and inclusive school environment, where every individual feels valued and cared for.

Pupils show respect through listening, kindness, valuing diversity, and caring for school property.
Parents and carers model respect by speaking kindly, supporting school policies, and encouraging their children to treat others well.
Staff lead by example, creating a culture of kindness and inclusivity, resolving conflicts calmly, and treating everyone fairly. Together, these efforts ensure a positive, respectful atmosphere where all can thrive.
Governors uphold these values by promoting respectful policies and supporting staff well-being.

Responsibility

Responsibility is a key value that empowers everyone in the school community to take ownership of their actions and choices. The icon for Responsibility features a single figure with one hand placed on their heart. Designed in a simple black-and-white style, this symbol represents integrity, accountability, and personal commitment. The gesture of placing a hand on the heart conveys sincerity, trustworthiness, and a willingness to take ownership of one's actions.

Pupils demonstrate responsibility by being prepared for learning, looking after school property, making positive social choices, and following rules independently.
Parents and carers support this by ensuring their children arrive on time, prepared, and in the correct uniform, while also teaching accountability and maintaining open communication with the school.
Staff lead by example, planning engaging lessons, ensuring pupil well-being, and fostering a culture of responsibility.
Governors uphold this value by making informed decisions, monitoring school performance, and promoting accountability.

Teamwork

The icon for Teamwork features five fists coming together in the center, surrounding a heart. Designed in a simple black-and-white style, this symbol represents unity, collaboration, and collective effort. The joining of fists signifies strength in working together, while the heart at the center highlights the importance of trust, empathy, and shared purpose. Teamwork is essential in building a supportive and collaborative school community where everyone works together towards shared goals. Through teamwork, we create an environment where everyone is valued, included, and able to succeed together.

Pupils demonstrate teamwork by communicating effectively, listening actively, resolving conflicts peacefully, and supporting their peers in group activities.
Parents and carers contribute by working with teachers, engaging in school activities, and modelling positive collaboration.
Staff foster teamwork by collaborating across the school, sharing best practices, and maintaining strong communication with colleagues, parents, and the community.
Governors uphold this value by working with all stakeholders to develop a shared vision and supporting school improvements.

Growth Mindset

Growth Mindset is the belief that abilities can develop through effort, perseverance, and learning from challenges.

Pupils embrace this by staying curious, persisting through setbacks, and viewing mistakes as opportunities to grow.
Parents and carers support this by encouraging resilience, celebrating effort over results, and fostering independent problem-solving.
Staff model a growth mindset by embracing professional development, setting high expectations, and fostering a classroom culture where learning is a journey, not just an outcome.
Governors uphold this value by promoting continuous learning, welcoming innovation, and supporting initiatives that encourage lifelong growth.
