Ethos and Values
In accordance with the Trust wide Principles, Aims & Ethos (click here for link) the individual ethos & values specific to Normandy Village School are:
Our focus is to educate the whole child, from academic success to sporting and creative achievements. To accomplish this, our school values are geared towards the whole CHILD:
C - Creativity
H - Honesty
I - Integrity
L - Loyalty
D - Diversity
We value every child's culture, hobbies, interests and ensure that these are celebrated and supported, through our creative curriculum, which encourages all children to think outside the box and provides them with opportunities to flourish in a variety of ways.
We want all children to be honest. If they need help, we want to know. Honesty underpins how staff will interact with parents and children and will play a key role in every child's development.
Linking closely to honesty, teaching the value of integrity will show children that having a high moral purpose in life is vital - teaching children to be kind and to help people just because, morally, it is the right thing to do.
To be loyal is to be faithful to those around you, no matter the temptation to renounce your values. We will help all children to be loyal to their friends, to their family and to their school community.
Our school community has a wonderful mix of cultures and backgrounds and all of these should be celebrated and respected without question. We will support our children to learn about all children's backgrounds and to ensure that as a community we treat everyone with kindness.
These values are the basis upon which we operate daily.
