Our Ethos
and Values
At Deanwood we want everybody to be “Happy, Successful and Safe”. We aim to do this by promoting the fundamental British values of:
• democracy • the rule of law • individual liberty • mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs
Our assemblies further develop these British Values, as well as addressing the following key themes:
honesty
courage freedom perseverance love tolerance thoughtfulness patience respect
caring
peace
responsibility
simplicity
humility happiness
hope trust
co-operation understanding friendship
unity
Regular Philosophy for Children sessions are used to enable children to further explore the British Values and key themes. In these sessions, children have the opportunity to share their views about topics as wide ranging as: “What is the best colour?”, “Is graffiti art or vandalism?” and “Should girls 03 play football?”. By providing the children with opportunities such as these, we are helping them to feel proud of their identity and to be comfortable to participate in everyday life both in school and also in the wider community.
