Our Values

Resilience

We never give up and never give in.  We use mistakes as a purposeful tool for learning and persist in problem solving.

Responsibility

We are responsible for ourselves, each other and our environment.

Respect

We show respect for everyone. We ask, ‘would we like to be spoken to or about in that way?’ and remind ourselves ‘it’s not just what you say, it’s how you say it’.

Restorative 

We work best when part of a community and to do so we need an understanding of how a community works, self-awareness of our responsibilities to that community and shared communications skills. 

Our Vision

The Best You Can Be - Everyone, Every Day

Our Ethos 

Our job is to give every child the life chances they deserve, no matter what their starting point. We make every second count. It is our intention to develop the whole child, helping them to grow as both lifelong learners and proactive, responsible citizens. 

As a school community, we celebrate diversity and use people's experiences and strengths to motivate and stimulate.  We recognise that children and adults perform best when they are nurtured, inspired and valued, therefore, we encourage and develop resilience in everyone and wellbeing for all.

BRITISH VALUES

We want Heelands pupils to be curious learners who can persevere, challenge themselves and become kind and responsible citizens of the future.

Our whole school Values of Resilience, Responsibility, Respect and Restorative begin to lay those foundations for the future and promote British Values in an age-appropriate way for our pupils.

Every half-term we celebrate a new Value through assemblies and collective worship, as well as embedding values throughout our day to day practice.
