Ethos and Values

As an Educate Together school
 

  • We value all children and the unique contribution that they offer to the school.
  • We believe that all children learn best when they feel safe and are happy in school.
  • We believe that respect underpins all of our relationships within school and with the outside world.
  • We ensure that all pupils achieve their fullest potential and are fully prepared for the next stage of learning and life

 

Our 4 core principles
 

Equity-based

 

Through being equitable in our work, all children and staff will have equal access to their rights and, regardless of background, all will be equally respected.
 

Aspirational

 

All of our children have the right to a holistic world class education.  All our work aims to ensure that every child can make progress and achieve well in every aspect of their education.
 

Child-centred

 

Children are at the heart of every decision and activity.  Their voices are actively sought and listened to.  They play a lead role in shaping their education.
 

Collaborative

 

Our schools aim to be central to the communities they serve.  As such, we look for opportunities to give voice to and work in partnership with all stakeholders of the schools.

 

“No child an outsider”

 

Educate Together affirms that

 

  1. Children of all social, cultural and religious backgrounds have a right to an education that respects their individual identity whilst exploring the different values and traditions of the world in which they live.
  2. Parents are entitled to participate actively in decisions that affect the education of their children.
