Our Core Values:

At The Willows Primary School, we believe in the importance of relationships, ensuring children feel valued, safe and secure, providing a sense of connection with members of staff and a belonging to the whole school community.

Our school aim is that children at The Willows ‘Thrive’, and all the work we do in school is underpinned by this.  We work hard to support children to be:

• Thoughtful
• Healthy
• Resilient
• Independent
• Vocal and
• Engaged.

It is a core aim of our school that every member of the school community feels valued and respected, and that each person is treated fairly and well. We are a caring community, whose values are built on mutual trust and respect for all. This policy is therefore designed to support the way in which all members of the school can live and work together in a productive and positive way. It aims to promote an environment where everyone in school feels happy, safe and secure and able to learn.

We value each individual child and work with families, the community and beyond to offer diverse experiences and support for pupils and families in a caring and safe environment. We develop children to be confident, life-long learners and compassionate, respectful members of their community and the world.

We always prioritise the safety of our children and staff. Everything we do in school is underpinned by our safeguarding procedures.
