This half term’s school value focus is ‘respect’. We recalled what we learnt last term about self-respect and not being too hard on ourselves for mistakes that we make. When we make mistakes in lessons, we talk about ‘my favourite mistake’ and what we can learn from it. We also recalled what we learnt last term about the Japanese art of Kintsugi, where broken pottery is put back together to make it stronger and more beautiful. It was a good time to remind ourselves that Christians believe that we are all created in the image of God and are inherently valuable.
On Thursday, Mr Bradley carried out our Behaviour Reset assembly. We reminded ourselves of our 3 simple, school rules – be ready and responsible to learn; use kind and respectful words; use kind and respectful feet. The word ‘respect’ features heavily in our school rules so we considered what respectful behaviour and attitudes looks like in our daily lives.
