School Values

Our school values are at the core of everything we do. They underpin our teaching and learning, and provide an environment which prepares our pupils as confident, happy citizens.

We are kind

Our children are regularly complimented on their kindness , good manners and politeness. We believe this is an important quality and expect to see it modelled throughout our school by staff and pupils.

We are involved

As one of our Year 6 pupils describes it ' to come out of the shadows and do something good'. We want our children to feel that they can make the world a better place by being involved in their community and in causes that are important to them.

We belong

Once a family join Colney Heath School, they are always a part of our school .We emphasise to our children that we all belong here, bringing with us our unique skills, beliefs and qualities to make Colney Heath a special place. Families have shared with us that they feel they belong when they see their experiences reflected in stories, art and extra curricular events. We use a principle of ‘Mirrors and Windows ‘ – every child should see a mirror of their own life in school, valuing their experience and a window into somebody else’s life.

We are learners

Our staff and pupils are all learners. We know that learning can, and should be, tricky – it involves working hard to improve. In our school, we see adults model learning to children and then give them plenty of opportunity to practice….sometimes getting it wrong, but trying again until it improves.

We firmly believe that the school is part of the community and should be seen as a place for everyone. Therefore they are designed to be relevant for all within Colney Heath.
