The Churchside Federation Ethos Committee is made up of children and adults (staff and governors) who work together to promote the school values. Our committee meet each half term to discuss the schools values and ethos, and explore the values of the Federation (Honesty, Kindness and Respect).
The Ethos Committee share their experiences with the whole school during assemblies as well as seeking ways to support our local community. The ethos committee at Mundford have worked hard to establish a lending library for books at our school. With donations from parents and members of the community, they have upcycled an old hutch into a lending library.
The top section is full of childrens books, and the bottom section has books for grown ups. They also approached the parish council, who kindly donated the funds to help us purchase a reading bench to sit alongside the lending library.
