Our Values

 

At Walsall Wood School, we value diversity and individuality while recognising that we are one family and one community. Our children are taught our 6 'core values' through a range of learning opportunities to teach them pride for their local area, their country and the world.

 

Our Core Values are:

 

Community

Community is about being part of a family, who care, love and nurture one another. From small scale one to one interactions to larger collaborative working, we all join together to make positive changes to individuals, the school and local area. Being part of this community builds good citizens, who follow the ‘golden rules’.

 

Respect

Having respect for others is about being considerate, conscientious and attentive. It is a desire to learn more from unique qualities and perspectives. It is the admiration for people and schools by showing tolerance, dignity and understanding.

 

Equity

Equity is ensuring the equality of outcome, not the equality of opportunity. It allows inclusive practices to meet the needs of everyone, value individuals’ achievements and boost positivity. This in turn creates a place to thrive, where talents and interests can be grown.

 

Ambition

Ambition is taking pride in all aspects of daily routines. It empowers individuals at all levels to become passionate and confident to meet new challenges and achieve aspirational goals and perform to their best. Resilient people recognise that being imperfect, failing and experiencing life's difficulties is normal.

 

Trust

Trust is having a firm belief in the morals, reliability or ability of someone or something. With strong levels of trust, people can feel safe and secure to take risks. Trust is built upon honesty and courage that are shown in tiny moments every day.

 

Empathy

Showing empathy is about understanding ourselves and others. A compassionate approach to all situations creates a supportive and harmonious environment. Being mindful is essential to connect with others and allows us to work through difficult moments together.
