Vision & Values

Reach for the stars

At Edith Moorhouse Primary School our vision and ethos is driven by our ten core Values. These values were chosen by the School Community: pupils, all staff, parents and governors contributed their ideas, as well as visitors and members of the local community.

We firmly believe that all members of our School Community should feel listened to, feel important and be able to contribute to the day to day life of the school.

Respect	We follow our Golden Rules – Be Kind and Helpful, Be Gentle, Work Hard, Respect Property and Listen. We respect people by being kind and helpful, by being polite and by being gentle We respect property by looking after our school environment and keeping our school clean and tidy. We encourage positive learning behaviour so that everyone can learn and enjoy being here. We respect ourselves – we are proud of our achievements, we believe in ourselves and we develop positive self-esteem and confidence
Responsibility	We have a responsibility to ourselves to be the best we can be in everything we do. We have a responsibility to others to work towards our common goals. We have a responsibility to our environment – our school, our local community, our nation and our world. We take responsibility for our actions and our words.
Peace	We encourage positive thoughts for ourselves and others. We care for each other. We say and do tings that help others to be calm and happy. We learn to face problems in a positive and constructive way.
Aspiration	We always strive to 'Reach for the stars'. We value high standards in every aspect of school life. We believe that any task or activity we do will always be carried out the best of our ability. We are proud of our achievements in all aspects of life.
Love	We show that we love life through our successes and achievements. We show our love for our world through respect and responsibility. We show our love for each other and ourselves through our actions and words.
Co-operation	We work together to achieve our goals and aspirations. We improve our learning opportunities by working to common aims. Our school community is a team and we work together.
Resilience	We have the confidence to 'have a go' and persevere even when life feels difficult. We see our mistakes as learning opportunities and use them to help us move forward. We help each other to try to stay strong when things get tough.
Honesty	We demonstrate integrity and do what we know is right. We own up if we make a mistake. We are truthful to ourselves and to others.
Well-being	We enjoy being busy and understand the need for physical activity. We know that eating healthy food is important. We know that feeling emotionally strong is important and we know who to talk to when necessary.
Happiness	We believe that feeling successful, secure and confident in school leads to happiness and positive learning experiences. When we are happy we have the confidence to 'Reach for the stars'.
