Values, Ethos and Aims

Values

Newton Burgoland Primary School is a traditional school. We place a high premium on good manners, good behaviour and achievement, as we know our parents do.

The values of Newton Burgoland Primary School reflect British values:

We do not tolerate bullying, unkindness, extremism or racism. We recognise that both target and perpetrator will need support should an incident occur. However, our policy of ensuring that all learners are able to work together productively helps to reduce the risk of bullying. 

Everyone is welcome in our school.

We use a variety of texts to explore, recognise and celebrate diversity, promoting respect and care for all.

We work to ensure that our children understand that:

  • There are no outsiders at Newton Burgoland Primary

  • Everyone is different

  • We celebrate our differences

  • We are all equal in our differences
