Our School
from St Nicolas
Values–Learning
In September 2011, we decided as a school to join the quiet revolution that is Values based education . Like increasing numbers of schools across the country, we felt the need to reassess our responsibility approach to learning and introduce a series of values which are both Christian and universal.
Now these values underpin not just our curriculum but all areas of school life at St Nics’. Each half-term the school focuses on one value and the children discuss and discover how this applies to real life, both in terms of the behavioural choices they make and how they learn; even our youngest children understand the importance of treating others with care.
Our values are ‘lived’ by every school adult and determine our approach to all of our policies and practices; they reinforce the relationships within the school community making us into a stronger team with our children at the heart of each and every decision we take.
