Trust Prepared Safe
Aims and Values
Our Values
A school community must have a set of shared values in order to work effectively towards achieving the aims of the establishment. Shared values set the ethos of the school and enable us to work effectively towards our common goals. Our ethos is illustrated by our Values Tree:
Our values are at the “root” of all that we do.
They support our “growth” as individuals.
They provide the “trunk” for our school community.
We have a responsibility to ensure that everyone in our school community feels that they belong by showing:
Respect
Caring
Trust
Perseverance
And ensuring Equality & Equity
