From the Hemswell Cliff Primary School
Full involvement of parents/carers in decisions about their child's education e.g. annual reviews, PLP reviews, consultation evenings, questionnaires, regular contact with class teachers;. Over the last few years we have adopted the Values for Education programme in order to enhance the provision we already had in place to give children the very best opportunities for spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. It particularly draws together strands of the work we do in Religious Education; Personal, Social and Health Education; Citizenship and the respectful way we feel people should manage themselves and behave towards others. Co-operation Caring Courage Appreciation Honesty Hope Freedom Simplicity Respect Tolerance Thoughtfulness Unity Trust Understanding Friendship Happiness Patience Humility Love Peace Quality Responsibility. That value has then been discussed and reinforced as part of the curriculum through a range of activities and in subsequent class or assemblies; in social times such as play or lunchtimes and in staff briefings and meetings. Pupils showing even more positive attitudes towards each other and a willingness to share and take turns;. Genuine interest in the values and how they apply to Hemswell Cliff and the wider community;. Going forwards, we will continue to build on these strong foundations with the aim that our pupils take them out into the community as part of our contribution to the wider society.
