'The school is a caring community, based on Christian values, where the needs of the pupils are at the heart of everything the school does.' OFSTED 2017.

As a school community we have developed our own core values and behaviours for learning. We believe in a positive learning environment based on the principles of restorative practice. 

The aim of the system is to ensure that pupils are taking responsibility for their own behaviour and learning as well as developing skills to thrive in society. 

Our school values along with the 'British Values' (see the link at the bottom of the page) underpin our teaching and learning and provide an environment which prepares our pupils to be confident, respectful and happy citizens.

The 3 R’s and 3 C’s

St Michael & All Angels six core values have been adopted which are:

• Respect

• Responsibility

• Resilience

• Cooperation

• Confidence

• Compassion

All children throughout the school are becoming familiar with these values and how they are out into practice as learning behaviours. They are developing a growing understanding of how they can demonstrate these values in school and as members of society. 

Each classroom has a values display where children who are showing particular values will be recognised by adding their initial on to the relevant board. These values have learning behaviour profiles which are used to record how pupils are developing in each area. Children discuss how they are upholding the values with their peers, class teacher as well as in Worship. They also reflect on how they can improve or try to do more of the following week.
