We Thrive Together with Pride
At our school, We Thrive Together With PRIDE. This motto shapes everything we do and everything we aspire to be. We believe that every child can succeed, belong, and flourish when they are supported by strong values, high expectations, and a caring community.
PRIDE is more than a word—it's a way of living and learning. Each letter represents a core value that we teach, celebrate, and model every day:
P – Proactive
We encourage children to take initiative, make positive choices, and approach learning with enthusiasm and independence.
R – Responsible
Our pupils learn to take responsibility for their actions, their learning, and their roles within the school community.
I – Inquisitive
We nurture curiosity. Children are encouraged to ask questions, explore ideas, and develop a love of discovery.
D – Determined
We help children build resilience and perseverance, celebrating effort as much as achievement.
E – Engaged
We want every child to be fully involved in school life—participating actively, contributing thoughtfully, and embracing all opportunities.
We live and breathe these values - you can see them at work in every classroom. As well as being embedded in our curriculum, they are taught explicitly in a weekly values assembly, where children explore what each value looks like in practice. Throughout the week, staff recognise and celebrate children who demonstrate PRIDE through receiving Dojo points awarded for positive behaviour and attitudes and through Superstar Certificates presented during our Friday Celebration Assembly. These systems help children understand the importance of values-led behaviour and make our ethos visible in every classroom and corridor.
Alongside our PRIDE values, our simple, clear school rules guide us every day:
Be kind
Be ready
Be safe
These rules ensure that our school is a warm, welcoming, and purposeful place where everyone feels respected and supported.
