Values-based Education
Leaders provide many opportunities for pupils to develop and flourish. Through the carefully constructed personal development and diversity programme, pupils learn about different religions, cultures and why they should respect difference.
Ofsted, November 2022
Our values-based provision is designed to encourage positive behaviour and conduct by nurturing strong values within and among our pupils. We aim to develop pupils’ understanding of what values are and why they are important in life. A key aspect of our approach is supporting children to live out these values in all areas of their lives, both in and out of school. Values are promoted in every aspect of school life, including in the way adults interact with one another and with pupils. Our school values are clearly displayed, and we encourage all visitors to take them into account during their time in our school.
External recognition of our values-based provision
Someries Infant School and Early Childhood Education Centre has been successfully awarded the International Values-based Trust’s quality mark as a values-based school.
After spending a full day in our school experiencing lessons, playtime, lunchtime, talking with staff, parents and carers, governors and pupils, our assessor, Dr. Neil Hawkes, concluded that we are an outstanding values-based school and praised many aspects of our work.
