Thornley Primary School – By working together, we will make something amazing!
At Thornley Primary School we have high expectations of all of our pupils. We instill 8 Core Values:
- Community – our school is a welcoming place and we encourage all children, families and staff to play an active part in the school and wider community.
- Kindness – we are all kind to each other. We care for others and are thoughtful, listening to the ideas of others showing value to their thoughts and opinions.
- Respect – We not only respect each other but our environment and world around us. We accept that sometimes we may not agree but it is important we understand how others may feel or what their beliefs are and celebrate difference.
- Independence – we encourage everyone to be independent learners. When we can do it ourselves, we know we have mastered it!
- Resilience – to be independent we need to be resilient. It is important we have the courage to try new things or those that we find more challenging. We make sure we support and help each other.
- Positivity – a smile goes a long way! We will laugh and be happy as we grow in self-confidence in the everything that we do.
- Excellence – we all trive to reach our full potential and by using our values above we can acheive amazing things!
- Enjoyment – With the other 7 values secured, we will all enjoy every moment of our education at Thoornley Primary School.
