Our aims and ethos, values and vision

How do we promote courageous advocacy?

How do we promote spirituality?

We are very proud of the Christian values which underpin our work!

“The provision of spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is a strength of the school. Displays around the school visually promote this at every opportunity. For example, each corridor is labelled to reinforce a value or an ambition and emphasises the aspirational ethos which pervades the school. Pupils regularly walk up progress avenue, cooperation alley or achievement road on their way to lessons, assembly or out to play.”

“The broad, balanced and well-planned curriculum and a commitment to Christian values complements the promotion of British values and the development of pupils’ spiritual, moral social and cultural awareness. Pupils are asked to consider how moral values have changed over time within their topic linked to Victorian Britain or discuss and debate moral issues linked to current affairs, such as the refugee crisis.”

Year 3 – Bright Leaders
0 (0)

by

In session 2 of our Bright Leaders lesson with Chris Reddy, we discussed ‘leadership’ and ‘initiative’ and how we can lead ourselves and others. Some children identified themselves as ‘leaders’ and explained their reasons.

We started our new Bright Leaders booklets and discussed what we might take on our ‘Leadership Journey’ – courage, pride and confidence. We labelled our suitcase in the booklet with skills we need in our leadership journey.

This morning, Chris from the Leadership team focussed on different leadership moves, to start off the children played a game where one child went out of the room and tried to guess which other child was a leader by carefully focusing on the movement they had chosen.

Next year 3 wrote down 4 different leadship moves based on kindness, some examples included opening the doors for people, sharing, helping those in need, smiling and giving lots of hugs. They then got into pairs with their chosen leadership moves and had to act it out so the other partner could guess what it is.

Year3 Green: Leadership Development Workshop

by

This afternoon Y3G had their leadership development workshop with Chris Reddy. We talked about how we all can be shepherds (leaders) and sheep ( followers) at different points and even we switch our roles during a same day. Then we played a game called “secret leaders” where we have a secret leader and a leader detective. Children need to follow the actions from the secret leader and secret detective needs to look for clues and detect the secret leader. We took turns and everyone in the class got a chance to be a leader and a follower during the game.

Year 3 visited a local Hindu temple to learn about how many Hindus worship in the community. We learned about the different variations of Hinduism and the ways in which they are unified by common beliefs. The children were incredibly respectful and asked and answered lots of insightful questions- we are really proud of the way they represented our school within the community.

Year3 Green-Leadership Development Workshop
0 (0)

by

This afternoon Y3G had their leadership development workshop with Chris Reddy. We talked about that everyone is a leader in the classroom, in the life. Anyone can lead by making positive choices, being kind and including others. A great leader knows how to listen, share ideas and let others take turns. We discussed the differences between being a shepherd( who is in charge and walk his own path) and being a sheep ( where you just follow the leaders) . Then we discussed in the class that who is a leader ( shepherd) and why? We engaged with some interactive activities exemplifying strong leadership skills.
Well done year 3 Green for super listening!

This morning in our session with Chris Reddy- we discussed the differences between being a sheep (where you just follow the leaders) and a shepherd (walk your own path) which is all part of being a leader.

We talked about who was a leader in class and why. Some examples that Chris made was about who was in control of their morning routines, getting dressed, eating breakfast, packing your school bag and how are they leaders in school – helping others, showing kindness, working together.

Chris also spoke about always doing the right thing and how we are a classroom full of leaders, some may be greater leaders than others.
