LEARNERS values

At POW, we foster a love for learning and develop children who are self-motivated by the intrinsic desire to learn and grow. Our values are threaded throughout the school culture, language and curriculum. They form the basis of our interactions, day to day decisions and our high aspirations for all who attend. We encourage all in our community to grow and develop and celebrate the learning journey. Our values provide us with a shared vision and language. Further links to the British values are made throughout our cycle of assemblies and curriculum as appropriate.

Communication and vocabulary

At POW, we believe language is a tool that unlocks opportunities. Our children learn to express themselves accurately, thoroughly and sensitively in order to communicate effectively with the world around them. We value and develop high-quality language and communication skills through our curriculum, a vocabulary-rich environment and quality interactions. Our children have opportunities to develop and articulate their beliefs and opinions in a variety of ways.

Community and citizenship

At POW, within our supportive and diverse community, our children form positive relationships and develop of a sense of self. Our children are empowered by seeing themselves reflected in our curriculum and we celebrate the value of parent/family participation through cafes, forums and cultural events. We create an awareness of our place in the global community and nurture children who are prepared to problem solve when faced with the challenges of tomorrow.We teach them to care for the environment and consider how they can be responsible, make informed choices and be active citizens, who one day will become confident agents of change.

Health and Well-being

At POW, we actively seek opportunities to foster healthy lifestyles and instil positive attitudes in our children through our comprehensive curriculum and enrichment opportunities. By equipping them with this knowledge, we empower our pupils to make informed decisions that contribute to their overall health and future wellbeing, emphasising the current and long-term impact of their decisions. Our extensive grounds provide further opportunities to explore outdoor learning, including learning about growing and harvesting food. We promote positive well-being for all in our school community.
