Values
WE ARE BARNET'S FIRST VALUES BASED SCHOOL
We have 12 values that will guide children’s choices, learning and behaviour.
What does the word value mean to you?
Values are principles that drive behaviour. They influence our actions and attitudes and become our framework for living. They influence our relationship with ourselves and others.
Child friendly version:
A value is something that you think is important which helps you to think and make good choices and actions.
As school staff, volunteers and visitors we focus on:
- showing unconditional positive regard for children and one another;
- being publicly upbeat, positive and optimistic;
- valuing every adult working as a ‘teacher’;
- being role models – there are no bystanders; everyone has high expectations.
