OUR VALUES

Values are fundamental expressions of what we think and believe. As a school we encourage children to think about personal and social values, to become aware of, and involved in the life and concerns of their community and society, and so develop their capacity to be active and effective future citizens.

AT BRIXHAM CHURCH OF ENGLAND PRIMARY SCHOOL OUR CORE VALUES ARE:

FRIENDSHIP

We value friendship as fundamental to the development and fulfilment of ourselves and others, and the good of the community.

RESPECT

Develop self-respect, and respect for others. Promote inclusion, and appreciate and value the diversity of people’s circumstances and backgrounds.

COMPASSION

Children are encouraged to empathise with their peers and show a feeling of sympathy and sorrow for those stricken by misfortune, accompanied by a strong desire to alleviate the suffering.

FORGIVENESS

We show forgiveness and talk about our feelings and attitudes regarding situations where people have forgotten their behaviour. We let go of negative emotions and believe in restorative justice. We all understand that forgiveness is different from condoning.

LOVE

We see love as a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes. The children know that when we are talking about love we do not mean the, ‘lovey dovey, kiss kiss kind of love’ They see love as a virtue representing kindness, compassion, and affection towards other humans, one's self, nature or animals.

TRUTH

We value truth in the sense of honesty and integrity. Children understand the importance of being true to one’s self and the reality of the truth.
