Our Values
Our Values
All of our learning and behaviour within the school is supported by 6 main values. These values focus on our attitudes and behaviours for learning as well as our attitudes and behaviours towards others. They provide us with a moral compass, as individuals, within a community.
These values are rewarded using our MarvellousME app and are a focus within weekly themes. Staff and children alike work hard and learn how to show these values throughout their time in school in order that we can prepare for our lives beyond Spetisbury – whatever they might have in store.
Perseverance
Honesty
Teamwork
Reflect
Respect
Compassion
Perseverance: We continue to achieve or to try despite challenge or difficulty.
'Happy is the person who remains faithful under trials.' James 1:12
Honesty: We know that this is more than just telling the truth - this should be a given. We are honest with ourselves and always commit to giving our very best.
'Our love should not just be words and tal; it must be true love which shows itself in action.' 1 John 3:18
Teamwork: Although we are individuals striving to be our very best, we know that we are part of a bigger team and through cooperation, we can achieve much more as one school.
'For the body itself is not made up of only one part, but of many parts.' 1 Corinthians 12:14.
Reflect: We all play our part to reflect upon, challenge and improve the way we lead our lives and how we use our talents.
'Let us examine our ways and test them, and let us return to the Lord.' Lamentations 3:40
Respect: We care for ourselves, each other, the environment and our community.
'Do for others what you want them to do for you.' Matthew 7:12
Compassion: We know that compassion is greater than sympathy or empathy and we therefore are motivated to help and to show love.
'The Lord is loving and merciful, slow to become angry and full of constant love.' Psalms 145 8:9
