The Core Values

The school's core values of determination, kindness, pride, supportiveness, and aiming high are central to the personal development of its students. These values are aimed at helping students to become well-rounded and responsible individuals who can contribute positively to society.

Determination is a vital quality in the pursuit of personal development. It allows students to persist in their efforts despite challenges, and to set and work towards realistic goals. Being kind means treating others with respect, care, and compassion. It’s about being friendly, helpful, and understanding - whether someone is a friend, a classmate, or someone you don’t know. Kindness helps build a safe and welcoming school where everyone feels valued.

Pride in one's accomplishments and progress is also important for personal development. By recognizing and valuing their achievements, students can build self-esteem and a sense of self-worth. In the same way, supportiveness encourages the students to build healthy relationships with others and to be compassionate and empathetic.

Finally, the school encourages students to aim high in all aspects of their lives. By setting ambitious goals and working towards them, students can achieve more than they thought possible and reach their full potential.

In summary, the school's core values are closely linked to personal development and are designed to help students grow as individuals and prepare them for the future. The school aims to empower students to be the best version of themselves and make a difference in their communities, which align with the Ofsted criteria for personal development, behavior and welfare.
