Our Mission and Values

At The Meadows, we are committed to ensuring that all our children are well-rounded individuals with strong characters traits that develop a life-long love of learning. We are passionate about enabling our children to achieve excellence in all they do. 

Our 6 core values are at the heart of everything we do. These values are

Respect

Resilience

Team Work

Curiosity

Kindness

Aspiration

Everyone involved with The Meadows is committed to these values. At The Meadows we believe that children can achieve personal excellence through the teaching and modelling of values and skills. Our 6 values drive and shape every aspect of school life, and have taken the place of school ‘rules’.

Teaching our Values

We believe that values underpin the person you are now and the person you aim to be in the future. They influence how you conduct yourself & behave towards others in every day life. As adults, we model the values and behaviours we would want to see from our children and we actively teach them in all aspects of school life. When children demonstrate our values it is recognised and rewarded in the following ways:

• Core value weekly certificates – children are nominated weekly by their class team for demonstrating a specific value theme that is discussed in our Phase Assembly and End of Day Reflections
• Stickers – children receive stickers when they have demonstrated any of the values. We encourage the children to share with adults what value they think they have shown and why they are receiving the sticker. This enables them to be able to articulate the behaviours they have shown. .  
• Trackit Points– children can earn Trackit points in class by demonstrating positive behaviours such as helping others, working hard, being kind to others and making good progress during lessons, The child with the most Trackit points at the end of each day are gets a note home and their name on the class recognition boar. 
  
  

When a child is not making the right choices they have the opportunity to reflect through conversation with an adult. Together, they identify the core values that they haven’t shown, how they are feeling, how their behaviour has made others feel and what they plan to do moving forward. 

"School values are like the colors of a rainbow that show us how to be kind, respectful, and helpful to everyone. They're like little stars that guide us to be the best versions of ourselves every day."
