Our School Values

Before the Summer our School Values were revised taking the feedback from pupils, staff and families to suggest the values that reflect our school. We wrote to you all to let you know that we had agreed on the following:

Harmony – We have a peaceful school environment and value the natural world in which we live.

Equity – We ensure that each learner and their family have what they need and recognise that this is not always the same for each individual.

Ambition – We set high expectations for ourselves and plan our next steps.

Respect – We respect each other and ourselves.

This is our Faith – Our Faith influences all we do. (This is Our Faith is the name of our RE curriculum)

We asked our children to design icons to represent each of the values. We are proudly displaying our School Values with the winning designs in our school entrance.

Well Done and thank you to Ezra, Tyler, Roza, Finlay and Alyssa.
