Values & Global Values
We have had a well-established Values Curriculum which is referenced throughout our PSHEC Curriculum. We explore a different Value each month over a two year cycle. The Values are illustrated and explored through children’s literature, historical and current events, film, discussion and drama in assemblies and class. Staff refer to them when speaking to children about their behaviour and attitude to learning. Classes write and present an assembly to parents and the whole school to show how they use a Value and how it helps them to ‘aim high and make a difference’. The 22 values were determined after consultation with children, staff, parents and others – and make up a ‘Values Toolkit’ which acts as a moral compass and is constantly revisited.
- priorities individuals and society attach to certain beliefs, experiences, and objects in deciding how they shall live and what they shall treasure. (Hill, 2004)
- principles and fundamental convictions which act as general guides to behaviour, the standards by which particular actions are judged as good or desirable. (Halstead, Taylor and Taylor, 2000)

Values Planning
To further address points on our Mission Statement, support cross curricular links with the Geography Curriculum and develop understanding of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, we integrate global values into our Values Curriculum. See Global Values Plan
Our Values Curriculum also aligns with the British Values that were introduced by the Department for Education. See Promoting British Values
