Vision for North West Surrey Short Stay School 2023/24
Values
At North West Surrey Short Stay School we want our students to FLOURISH. We want them to recognise and acknowledge their core values to enable them in a successful journey through life. Our school values are:
What do our NWSSSS values mean?
Family Core family values are: Committment Stability Respect Appreciation Conflict Resolution | Listening A commitment to give values to another's words and ideas. Listening to hear - not to respond. |
Opportunity We want all students to take each opportunity they are given and we want to provide many different learning opportunities, both in and out of the classroom. | Understanding Being sympathetic to someone's woes; opening your thoughts to appreciate what someone feels or experiences. |
Responsibility To acknowledge accountability and own your actions. | Inspiring To inspire confidence and others in succeeding. |
Successful Simply that - 'Success is an Attitude'. | Honesty Someone who tells the truth. |
British Values and the Social, Moral and Spiritual Curriculum
SMSC and British Values underpin our work. Themes are woven through the curriculum and classroom displays.
Students are encouraged to reflect during the day. Moral and ethical discussions and decision making are central to our work in helping learners to manage their behaviour, make informed choices and improve their outcomes.
We actively prepare students for adult life by encouraging respectful behaviour and promoting healthy self esteem.
The government set out its definition of British values in the 2011 Prevent Strategy and considered them to be:
These values are shared through discussions, displays, assemblies and discrete learning activities.
Mutual respect
We support students to understand each other and promote respect and dignity for everyone. Everyone in our school is treated fairly. However this does not mean everyone is treated in the the same way at all times. Students and staff are always able to voice their opinions and we foster an environment where people are safe to disagree with each other.
