Our Vision: We Care; Challenge; Achieve; and Open Minds. Full of exciting and challenging experiences, where pupils are helped to develop a love of learning and to be their best. It is a caring and safe community, where everyone is respected and included. Pupils' achievements are celebrated and the whole community is proud of themselves and of each other."
We want everyone involved with our school to make it a place where people are: O pen-minded and tolerant of the views and beliefs of other people D etermined to make the most of every opportunity at Herbert Strutt, we aim to ensure that all children are happy and challenged, enjoy learning and celebrate their achievement, in a safe and secure environment.
We have high expectations for all our children in both learning and behaviour, these are reinforced though the use of a badge system: Gold, Silver and Bronze. Pupils review the rewards and expectations linked to this system each year through their class councils.
