Aims, Values and Ethos

Our Scargill Values

PRAISE

The school community indentified a set of six core school values - PRAISE. These are explicitly taught and contribute to the development of our positive school ethos and culture for teaching.

The six values are:

Perseverance

Respect

Aspiration

Independence

Sensitivity

Enthusiasm

These school values then underpin our ethos by:

• creating a calm and purposeful environment in which everyone feels valued;
• creating a culture which is open, honest and harmonious;
• supporting the development of good quality relationships between all members of the school community;
• helping pupils to understand themselves through an awareness of their inner selves;
• encouraging pupils to develop their positive dispositions and to choose ther attitudes;
• developing emotional intelligence.

"The values help to make our school extra special."

"They help me to tackle problems and accomplish things I may have found difficult."

"They help me to not give up. To do things I thought I couldn't do or to do better."

"They give me an extra something to work towards."
