Values and Ethos

Vision:

To ensure every pupil acquires the skills, knowledge and values, to achieve their maximum potential in a caring, nurturing, challenging and inspiring environment.

Mission:

To maximise learning opportunities and improve outcomes for every pupil.

Aims:

We aim to:

• Give each child the opportunity to flourish and develop through a nurturing, creative and engaging learning journey, enabling them to take responsibility for their own learning.
• Provide a safe and secure environment where children feel valued and respected.
• Seek excellence in all that we attempt, setting high standards and aspirational targets to ensure all our children achieve their full potential.
• Offer a rich and meaningful curriculum which provides memorable learning experiences and develops enquiring minds.
• Promote a love of learning and high aspirations through the positive ethos of the school.
• Provide life skills that encourage our children to become respectful and confident citizens.
• Encourage independence whilst appreciating the needs of others.
• Actively seek to do the right thing, to be a good friend, to embrace all we have to offer and
  to leave HRPS with a well-developed set of personal values.

Values:

HRPS is a values based school. Our values programme promotes diversity and unites children, parents, staff, governors and the wider community in our shared vision. Core values (which include British Values) are promoted through all aspects of school life. Values essential to developing self-respect and regard for others, and for making a positive contribution to society are discussed and explored with children in lessons, in assemblies and in everyday interactions. Values such as respect, enthusiasm, resilience, tolerance, and empathy form part of our programme. We strongly believe in making our school a central part of our community and in giving children the skills and understanding to make a positive contribution to that community – values based education is crucial in this.
