Our school values are at the core of everything we do. They underpin our teaching and learning and provide an environment that prepares our pupils as confident, happy citizens.
EWPA is a values-based community. This means that we promote and teach a set of values to our children that will ensure they develop the skills to equip them as good citizens of the future. We support our curriculum with a set of values that are woven into the teaching and learning to develop improved social and emotional skills that will promote behavior and attitude.
Our values are promoted in the everyday life of the school.
At EWPA we strongly believe that our role as educators extends beyond academic achievement
We do this through our Values-Based Learning and British Values along with a Growth Mindset approach to learning. We endeavor to develop resilience and a positive attitude towards making mistakes and learning from them, to instill lifelong learning skills.
Our children work hard to develop these skills and attitudes and look forward to our celebration assembly each week where we celebrate their learning with them and award certificates. We talk to our children about our community as being the East Wickham family and we promote family values across our school.
Through these values, children learn to have an understanding of how their actions may affect others. We also ensure that we develop our children’s understanding and appreciation of the multi-cultural society in which we live, developing respect for other races, religions, and ways of life.
