Everyday interactions between staff and pupils, and between pupils and pupils should be steered by three simple expectations which encapsulate our ethos:
- Many acts of kindness everyday – caring
- Build-up, don’t put down – confident
- Try and then try again – capable
These expectations are taught and constantly reinforced through assemblies, tutors, visuals and through everyday interactions across the school.
