From the Headlands Primary School
Our distinctly stated vision, goals, and values at Headlands Primary School serve as the foundation for our profoundly ingrained culture and ethos.
that we would work with others to secure the best outcomes for all of our children by empowering kids and supporting them in everything they do as proud members of NPAT.
And as honoured NPAT members, we'll work with others to make sure that every one of our kids attends a school that values inclusivity and strives for excellence for all.
The essential British principles of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, and respect for people of all faiths and beliefs are expected of schools, and they are expected to "establish and enforce a clear and rigorous obligation on all schools to promote these values."
Students have the opportunity to make decisions on their challenges, how they record their work, and participation in the many clubs and programmes we offer outside of the classroom.
Mutual respect is one of our school's core values, and students have participated in discussions and assemblies on what this means and how it is demonstrated.
Children are rewarded for upholding the school's ideals, and this is emphasised throughout our everyday learning routines.
Visitors are challenged if they act disrespectfully in any way, including children and adults.
The importance of values is evident throughout the school and is highlighted during our celebration assembly.
All staff members constantly follow our behaviour guideline, which is well-established throughout the school.
Tolerance of People of Different Faiths and Beliefs: This is accomplished through offering students the chance to experience cultural diversity and by helping them better comprehend their place in a diverse society.
Learning in RE and PSHE has been implemented in order to assist and follow up on assemblies and discussions about prejudices and bullying that is motivated by prejudice.
Our termly celebration of other holidays makes sure that our kids are aware of cultures other than their own within our society.
Similar to this, we use breaking news items to learn about various events as they happen around the globe.
