Core Values

Our Core Values underpin everything we do at Arbourthorne Community Primary School.

Through our Core Values, which are woven across the curriculum and in all parts of school life, we promote the spiritual, moral, social and cultural (SMSC) development of all our children.  Children are encouraged to apply our Core Values in all aspects of their life both in and out of school.

Our Core Values and Behaviour and Relationship policy enable children to learn and understand ‘right’ and ‘wrong’.  Our children are supported in a positive and safe environment to develop an understanding that we can use our voices to share thoughts and opinions whilst respecting English laws.

Our children earn Core Value Badges, one for each of the eight Core Values. There is the opportunity for each child to earn these during the school year by demonstrating the Core Values in action and working as a team to achieve the standard. When children are seen demonstrating the core value of the month, they achieve core value stickers to add to a large team poster. Once this is full, Ms Langley awards core value badges to the whole class team for their collaborative efforts. Look out around school for our children proudly displaying their badges on their tie, shirt or bookbag. Children wear these with pride!
