Core Values and Aims
A core value is a central belief clearly understood and shared by every member of the school community.
Our core values arose out of discussion with pupils and other members of the school community, they reflect what we believe to be important about people, about how communities work well and about how we learn and develop knowledge. Our Values inform and shape how Giffards Primary School is organised, how we expect people to relate to each other in school, as well as the content and processes of teaching and learning. Our Core Values focus on the way we work, behave and treat all members of the school community, we recognise their value in developing strong communities. The values form the basis for how we develop strong and positive relationships within the school and in its wider community.
We believe in perseverance, thoughtfulness, cooperation, respect, caring and responsibility.
These core values are displayed prominently and referred to regularly in class, lessons and assemblies.
