Ethos & Values

We value everyone as an individual and seek to develop their capability, confidence and self-esteem. We value positive, constructive relationships. We value and welcome all, irrespective of gender, race, beliefs, social background or abilities – we don’t ‘tolerate’ – we celebrate. Nobody is an outsider. We value honesty, integrity, truthfulness and compassion. We value courage, resilience and the empowerment of others. We value personal endeavour and success and we value the power of teamwork. We value positive behaviour and we value reflection, forgiveness and restorative behaviour when people make mistakes. We value good manners, kind words and positive action. We value cooperation, collaboration and community-spirit. We value personal accountability and we value social responsibility. We value creativity, taking risks, thinking differently and the freedom to explore and question everything. We value peace, we value love and we value understanding. We value safeguarding. We value kindness. We value our children and we value each other.

Thrive is used in safeguarding; Religious Education follows the Birmingham Agreed Syllabus and includes nine religious traditions (Bahá’í, Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Jainism, Judaism, Rastafari and Sikhism) and established non‑religious worldviews such as Atheism, Humanism and Secularism. Yardley Wood Community Primary School is committed to The United Nations’ Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) and pursuing this award.
