Our ethos and curriculum are underpinned by four values of Connection , Courage , Imagination and Care . For each one, we have agreed a set of four short phrases to explain its meaning and impact for us at Southville.
We use our values to help shape school policy and strategic decisions, as well as referring to, and being guided by them as we interact adult to adult, adult to child and child to child. The more we use them, the stronger they become and the greater the impact upon our lives in school. This cycle is captured in the image below.
