“The aim of education is the knowledge, not of facts, but of values” – William Inge
What are values? Values are individual beliefs that motivate people to act one way or another. They serve as a guide for human behaviour.
Why do we have values? Having a set of school values reflects that we
create a culture where pupils experience a positive and enriching school life.
uphold ambitious educational standards which prepare pupils from all backgrounds for their next phase of education and life.
promote positive and respectful relationships across the school community and a safe, orderly and inclusive environment.
ensure a culture of high staff professionalism.
