Our Vision and Values
The Crescent Primary School is a values-based school because we believe in developing a set of skills and attitudes that prepare our children for the modern day world. Our children are guided by a set of school values that were chosen by parents, teachers and governors. These represent 6 values that the whole school community chose to be central to the education of our children:
Responsibility Respect Determination Kindness Honesty Creativity
Our children then designed a character for each of our school values, and through some computer wizardry, they were graphically reproduced below:
Our school values are displayed prominently around the school, as well as in each classroom. They weave into the fabric of school life and provide a mirror for our decision-making. For example, are my actions respectful? Are they kind?
They provide a guide and a moral compass for our children’s actions and behaviour. In making choices about how to act and how to behave, children have become familiar with and guided by our school values.
We celebrate our values!
Each day, we acknowledge children who show our values. Values slips given out to acknowledge positive behaviour choices that our children make.
We also have Values Assemblies each week, which teach children about a chosen value, and Values Star of the Week certificates awarded to a child in each class every Friday.
