School Values and Ethos

‘Believe Achieve Succeed’

Our Vision

At Kanes Hill Primary School, our dedicated and skilled team of practitioners champion a culture of nurture, respect, and resilience, ensuring that all children are inspired to achieve the best possible outcomes.

Inspire Values

At the core of everything we do, we live and learn by these Inspire values:

Innovation-	taking a risk to try out a new idea
Nurture-	being kind and supporting one another
Success-	achieving your personal best
Passion-	being enthusiastic about your learning
Integrity-	being honest and doing the right thing
Responsibility-	doing what is expected of you and taking accountability for your actions
Excellence-	aiming for the very best and the extraordinary

Learning Legends

Children who are confident in their own ability learn better and faster. They concentrate more, think harder and find learning more enjoyable. Therefore, we have devised four superheroes who have essential learning skills and we teach these skills alongside every other subject.

Kestrel is *reciprocal* and can work alone & with others
Helix is *resilient* and never gives up
Prism is *resourceful* and uses resources and people to help her
Shadow is *reflective* and reflects about her learning

Aims:

We believe that the primary years at school are a vital part of the whole development of each child. In support of that belief we strive to:

Achieve the highest standards in learning and behaviour
Encourage a sense of self-worth as well as respect and tolerance for others
Encourage children to develop positive attitudes to life and to learning
Provide an exciting curriculum that is motivating, creative and fun
Actively promote British Values - tolerance, rule of law, justice, respect and liberty
Ensure that children flourish and achieve their full potential.
Engage the support of parents and community in the process of learning.
Encourage children to develop personal, spiritual and cultural values.
Our ultimate aim is to give all our children the confidence and enthusiasm to become lifelong learners in an ever changing world.

Positive Behaviours:

At Kanes Hill Primary School, we like to keep our expectations for behaviour clear and simple so that they can be easily understood by our whole school community.

In our school, we ask that everyone is 'Safe, Ready and Respectful.'

We very much believe that like learning, behaviour is something that should be taught. We invest a lot of time in teaching the children how to behave in our school and beyond. Lessons are created to teach pupils how to be 'safe, ready and respectful' in different areas of our school.
