Vision & Values

"...leadership and vision have led to ‘phenomenal’ changes and improvement. Pupils feel challenged and supported to achieve their best....  The commitment to the vision from the school community has been significant to the flourishing of all. The vision shapes key policies and development plans."

Values

Vision

With love and guidance, children become curious, successful individuals who flourish in their community.

We provide a school culture ensuring children are ready to learn and support one another.

Our environment is rooted in our Christian values.

Children become respectful, purposeful, independent, responsible learners because they know they are loved.

Promoting British Values

We recognise that promoting British Values is important in the learning journey of our children and therefore provide age appropriate activities including:

  • The strengths, advantages and disadvantages of democracy, and how democracy and the law works in Britain, in contrast to other forms of government in other countries;
  • Ensure that all pupils within the school have a voice that is listened to, and demonstrate how democracy works by actively promoting democratic processes such as a school council whose members are voted for by the pupils;
  • Use opportunities such as general or local elections to hold mock elections to promote fundamental British values and provide pupils with the opportunity to learn how to argue and defend points of view;
  • Use teaching resources from a wide variety of sources to help pupils understand a range of faiths, and
  • Consider the role of extra-curricular activity, including any run directly by pupils, in promoting fundamental British values.

 

Democracy

Children are listened to and are taught to listen carefully to others. Children are taught to respect the right of individuals to have their voices and opinions heard.

They are taught to discuss issues in a balanced and calm way.

The Rule of Law

The importance of laws, whether they be those that govern the class, the school or the country are consistently reinforced.

Individual Liberty

Children are actively encouraged to make the right choices, knowing they are in a safe and supportive environment. Children are expected to take responsibility for their own actions and to understand the consequence their actions might have. We educate and provide boundaries for children to enable them to make informed choices, through a safe and supportive environment. The understanding of rights and responsibilities are promoted through acts of collective worship, e-safety, PSHCE

Mutual Respect

Children learn that their behaviours have an effect on their own rights and those of others. All members of the school community treat each other with respect.

Tolerance of those with different Faiths and Beliefs

The school recognises its role in preparing children for life in modern Britain. We actively promote celebrations of different faiths and cultures. Through RE and personal and social education we reinforce messages of tolerance and respect.
