Mission Statement and School Values

We are ambitious for our children and for our school. Quality, Creativity and Enjoyment is what we aim to have at the heart of everything we do.

Our Aims

• To inspire a passion for life long learning

• To value ourselves and all members of our diverse community

• To foster an environment which is caring, safe and inclusive

• To realise our full potential through quality experiences and opportunities

• To help children to see the importance of taking responsibility for themselves, their actions and their learning.

School Motto

Our school motto of: ‘Giving our Best, Achieving our Highest’ is at the heart of everything we do in school and together with parents, carers, governors and the local community, each and every child is encouraged to follow this principle.

School Values

The school values have been selected after consultation with pupils, staff, governors and parents as values which are important within the school community and which will be important throughout life.

At our school, we are proud to promote our six school values, which are at the heart of everything we do. Each half term, we focus on one of these values, helping children to understand what it looks like in action and how it can be demonstrated both in school and beyond.

Our values are explicitly taught through dedicated Behaviour Curriculum lessons every fortnight, where pupils explore the chosen value through discussion, activities and reflection. These themes are also reinforced in our assemblies, ensuring that our values remain a consistent focus throughout school life.

At the end of each half term, Value Badges are awarded to pupils who have consistently demonstrated the featured value, celebrating their positive contribution to our school community.

The whole staff team, parents and pupils are involved in promoting the school values and recognising where others are ‘living the values’.
