SCHOOL VISION and values
Consideration Aspiration Responsibility Enjoyment
Our motto at Highfield is C.A.R.E. and underpins our vision and what we believe is important:
An inclusive school where we are all valued and learn in a caring environment. We are considerate of others’ feelings; we are thoughtful, kind and helpful; we show respect for our diverse community and for different points of view.
An aspirational school with high expectations of ourselves and others. We have a growth mindset, showing resilience and learning from our mistakes; we are problem solvers and critical thinkers who know our goals and targets and always aspire to be our best.
A school where we all take responsibility for our learning and behaviour and strive to be Ready, Respectful and Safe to become independent, self-disciplined and resilient individuals.
A happy school where enjoyment in learning, having fun and being part of the Highfield family helps us become confident and enthusiastic learners and sets us on the path to a lifelong process of learning.
How you can show C A R E
Consideration – being thoughtful, kind and helpful; thinking about others' feelings and how our words and actions affect others; respecting different points of view; showing respect for our diverse community; making others feel welcome and included.
Aspiration – determination to do well; working hard and wanting to improve; having high expectation of ourselves and others; showing resilience and not giving up; being problem solvers and critical thinkers; showing a growth mindset - learning from our mistakes and challenging ourselves to always do our best to reach our goals and targets.
Responsibility – taking responsibility for our learning and behaviour; organising ourselves and striving to be independent; looking after our own, other people's and school property; being reliable and trustworthy.
Enjoyment – Enjoying each other’s company; enjoying being in school; having fun; enthusiastically embracing all aspects of school life. Enjoyment is important because happy children do (learn) well.
