The Principles and Values
Our vision for Faldingworth Community Primary School is made up from the principles, aims and values that are at the core of everything we do. They underpin our teaching and learning and provide an environment which prepares our pupils as confident, happy citizens.
Our Values...
We have recently undertaken an activity with the school community to select the core values that we feel are the most important for us. We have ensured that these values incorporate fundamental British values that prepare children for life in modern Britain. These are:
Respect for Self and Others - We appreciate the importance of respecting everyone and everything.
Being Fair - We encourage everyone to become involved in decision making and listen to the views of others.
Right and Wrong - We always tell the truth and earn the trust of one another. We know why rules are important and why we have to respect them.
Rights and Responsibility - We encourage everyone to take resposibility for their behaviour aswell as being aware of their individual rights. We demonstrate high levels of confidence and self-esteem.
Healthy Body and Mind - We have a positive attitude to learning and we know how to get support when managing our emotions.
Love Life and Each Other - We learn to care for each other with kind words and actions. We develop a positive approach to life's ups and downs.

Fair Acres Federation Values
At Fair Acres Federation we take very seriously our responsibility to promote fundamental British Values and to prepare children for life in Modern Britain. We ensure that the fundamental British Values are introduced, discussed and lived out through the ethos and work of the school. All curriculum areas provide the vehicle for furthering understanding of these concepts and, in particular, our RE, RSE, SMSC, PSHE and Citizenship lessons provide excellent opportunities to deepen and develop understanding. Our schools make considerable efforts to ensure children have the exposure to a wide experience beyond their local community during which these concepts are shown, through for example, sporting events, a range of visits and use of outdoor education centres. The strong rooted values-based understanding gives them an excellent platform for embracing difference.
