Vision, ethos and values
At Worth Valley Primary, children learn and thrive through an enjoyable and exciting curriculum. At the heart of our school are five school values that underpin all that we do.
Our school motto is:
‘Achieve Believe Create Dreams’
We achieve this through following our five school values:
One team
We listen to each other and value each other’s opinions, and we do as we are asked first time.
Respect
We care for each other and look after property.
Trust
We always tell the truth.
Community
We treat others as we would wish them to treat us.
High expectations
We do our best and keep ourselves safe.
Worth Valley Primary School feels that values are very important. Values are beliefs that help us make decisions about how to behave. They are the principles that guide our lives, and we demonstrate these daily in school.
At Worth Valley, we look at values in detail so that we all have the words to describe them to each other and know how to spot them in ourselves and in others. We celebrate when people are showing these values by sharing them in celebration assembly, sending notes home or phoning parents/carers. PATHS lessons also choose a PATHS pupil of the day, with values forming part of this.
Thinking about values is not just something that helps us to learn when we are younger; they are a set of tools that we will carry with us throughout our lives. Understanding values will help us to make difficult decisions even when we are grown up. To feel valued is a special thing and something we want to make sure everyone experiences at Worth Valley, as everyone is part of the Worth Valley family and part of a family of schools within our Trust.
