Our Ethos and Values

The South View Federation provides an environment in which children learn, can be happy, feel secure, grow in confidence and self-esteem as well as achieve personal excellence.

 

The children in our care always come first and our priority is to deliver high quality teaching and learning whilst at the same time providing rich and truly enjoyable learning experiences for our children. Everything we do as a school is to ensure that the children achieve their very best. We are deeply aware that children only get one chance at their primary education and it is our job to ensure that they all reach for the highest levels of personal achievement and development.

 

We want every child to be successful; to reach for success from the very first day they join the school and throughout their school lives so that when they leave us they have a love of learning for the rest of their lives and are good citizens with well embedded social skills.

 

The South View Federation will:

• Provide a safe and stimulating environment that is conducive to all children giving them the opportunity to reach their full potential.

• Provide a supportive culture in which all staff are expected to extend, develop and share their expertise.

• Offer all children equal access to the curriculum and school life where individual differences are appreciated, celebrated, understood and accepted.

• Ensure that equal opportunities are provided for all of our children.

• Have regard and respect for the cultural diversity within the school.

• Value the achievements of all children, both in and out of school and provide opportunities to develop self-confidence and a positive self-image.

• Encourage children to become good citizens, by developing caring attitudes and respect towards themselves, other children, adults, their school and their community.

• Encourage each individual to take responsibility for their own behaviour and to act as a good role model to others.
