Values and Themes

SPIRIT – Values and Enrichment:

The SPIRIT ethos is the heart of our school and is focused on a core set of values that we recognise, promote and follow in all areas of school life:

  • S – Self Regulation
  • P – Participation
  • I – Integrity
  • R – Resilient
  • I – Inspired
  • T – Tolerant

These values:

  • Are embedded across all curricula and the focus for SPIRIT (PSHE) lessons.
  • Underpin the Behaviour for Learning criteria and the Student Code of Conduct.
  • Form the basis for student celebration.
  • Should apply equally to pupils, to our staff and to how we treat people outside our organisation.
  • Should be reflected in how we recruit, reward and manage staff.
  • Should be part of how we are held to account by our non-executive Trust Board and our local governing bodies.
  • Should have alignment with, if not be uniformly expressed in, our extra-curricular activities (SPIRIT enrichment).

 

SPIRIT Enrichment:

The purpose of SPIRIT enrichment is to develop skills such as resilience, teamwork, critical thinking and leadership to enable our students to thrive in a rapidly changing world. SPIRIT enrichment runs throughout the year, offering a wealth of opportunities for all our students as we know that extracurricular activities are a vital part of children’s education and post-school success. A dedicated SPIRIT Enrichment Co-ordinator monitors participation in an extensive range of extra-curricular activities to ensure our students, including those from disadvantaged backgrounds, benefit from a well-rounded, culturally rich, education.  There are also SPIRIT development days, focus afternoons and our unique SPIRIT week. Over the course of three days in summer term, students in Years 7, 8 and 9 choose a selection of activities both within school and as external trips. SPIRIT week is an exciting opportunity for all students to participate in a variety of new enrichment experiences to develop and enhance their cultural capital, promote new interests and skills, and focus on health and well-being.   We also know the importance of high-quality extracurricular activities in improving attainment, behaviour and attendance.
