Showing our Values at Home
St. Andrew’s is a Christian values led school. We want our values to be children’s virtues and to help us achieve this vision each child has a ‘values passport’. This is a passport that they take home every month when we start learning about a new value. Inside the passport is a list of possible ways in which children can show that value at home. There is also a ‘philosophical question of the month’ to discuss with friends and family at home. If a child shows our values at home this is celebrated at one of collective worships and children are awarded with a values badge. All the badges have been designed by children. See photos below for a more visual explanation!
