We are delighted and proud to be launching our new school values – Respect the CTA Way: Community, Tenacity and Aspiration!

Over the last few months, we have consulted with our entire school community to identify and agree updated school values including: pupils, parents, carers, staff and our governing body,

We recognise that values underpin our beliefs as a school and are essential in establishing a strong whole school ethos. Values are the link between deeds and actions; they help define our culture; unite our school community collectively; drive our ethical values and provide a moral compass for everyone.

Pupils have been fundamental in ensuring our established values will signify who we are, what we represent and what we believe in. Staff, parents and carers are united to promote positive behaviour, attitudes and support the personal development of pupils. Our Governing Body and Senior Leadership Team are committed to ensuring our school values are launched and implemented to show impact in all areas of our school. This includes: curriculum delivery, assemblies, communication and displays around school.

It is absolutely paramount that our values are not just words without weight, meaning or action behind them. Respect, Community, Tenacity and Aspiration will feature largely in our overarching principle of children fulfilling and exceeding their potential, both within their academic studies and also in their personal development. This week, to take the next step in this journey and as part of our launch, we will examine each value and its context in relation to our school community.
