Values at Academy Primary School
The school recognises the value of each child as an individual, and the importance of nurturing every aspect of his/her personality - intellectual, creative, emotional, physical and spiritual. All individuals are of equal worth; therefore tolerance, respect for others and a readiness to support and care for each other within the community and the world at large are essential.The school's vision and its values are necessarily closely inter-linked, and we need to ensure that pupils are provided with the opportunity to develop a reasoned set of attitudes, beliefs and values. Whilst recognising that certain moral issues are personal and family based, moral and social issues do present themselves for discussion within the curriculum. Information is given so that pupils can make considered decisions, when ready to do so, from a base of sound understanding.
Tolerance of others' values is extremely important, but there may be occasions when pupils need to be shown, through discussion and by example, what is and is not acceptable both in and outside school. Although some issues will be viewed differently by individuals, others must generate universal agreement; amongst these, bullying, lying, stealing, religious and racial intolerance cannot be condoned. Equally, the beliefs, ideas, property and rights of others should be respected..
Basic standards of good behaviour require that all should be considerate, polite, respectful and helpful towards each other, and that they should recognise the need to be responsible and reliable and to keep to promises made. Back to top
