Ridgeway Primary School

Our School Values

We, as a whole school community, are committed to the view that all children are entitled to be accepted,
respected and valued as individuals – being happy, safe and able to learn. We also believe that with this
entitlement comes the responsibility to behave appropriately and to show respect and consideration for the
rights of others which arises from the belief that we are unique individuals.

At Ridgeway Primary School we are proud of the high standards of behaviour demonstrated by our pupils.
We aim to ensure that this positive ethos is maintained and nurtured by all those who belong to our school
community.

We are dedicated to ensuring that our school environment supports learning and the wellbeing of pupils and
staff through a strong sense of key School Values. Cooperation, support, and respect are the foundations of
our community and we work hard to provide a safe school where pupils feel included in every aspect of school
life and comfortable to voice their opinions.

Together as a school, we discussed rules and expectations and the children have chosen to model our school
rules/values on the spirits of the Olympic and Paralympic games. We felt that they are all-encompassing and
also show that we value the legacy of the London 2012 Olympic games.

As such we have all agreed that Our School Values are…

To show… To aim for… To be an…
Respect Excellence Inspiration
