From the Matchborough First School Academy
We strive to live out the morals and behaviours we learned in school. The following list of core values was chosen by the faculty, parents, and students. At the start of every new half term, an assembly is held to introduce each value. The kids are prodded to consider their actions and attitudes as well as how they may apply these principles to their lives at home, at school, and in the larger community. Each half-term, a "values" assembly is held as the last Whizz Kid assembly. The teachers choose the Whizz Kid by picking a student whose behaviour demonstrates that they comprehend and embody the concept.
