Provide opportunities to develop spiritual awareness and an understanding of the importance of active personal contributions in solving the problems of a diverse and challenging world
Young people require integrity to make good decisions in life, based on positive values such as honesty and respect. Values assist in the development of character and the social and personal development of our young people. To assist this, RMS adopts a Values-based approach to education that spans both the academic and personal aspects of school life. Resilience and reciprocity in learning are complemented by cultivating commitment and participation as aspirational goals for pupils in their personal lives.
The RMS Values Programme which is embedded in the School's ethos was developed with the original aim of making the traditional values of the School more overt and meaningful. They are present in the lives of all those who work within the RMS community.
There are nine core values, one for each month of the school year Respect, Participation, and Compassion in the first term. Courage to Challenge Oneself, Responsibility and Perseverance in the second term and Honesty, Commitment and Tolerance in the third term. They are the focus for assemblies and form time during the month and students who demonstrate putting them into action in their daily life are recognized and rewarded.
Each month a form in Year 8 or 9 is responsible for compiling a video, slideshow, or poster for the Value of the Month, which is displayed around the School on TV screens.
