Curriculum Values
Learning at St. Bernadette's is an active journey of discovery and enquiry. We encourage our children to recognise that learning requires effort, commitment and perseverance.
Our school A S P I R E values are shared with pupils in child speak and capture our ultimate goal of becoming lifelong learners. All staff have a shared understanding of what high quality teaching and good progress look like and this is constantly revisited through our rigorous monitoring and evaluation timetable.
Our Learning Behaviours - A S P I R E
We apply learning behaviours to all that we do here at St. Bernadette's Catholic Primary School - we share these with our children, parents and governors and community; they are part of the "language we speak".
These learning behaviours are our values: A S P I R E and we model these on a day to day basis in all areas of our school life.
Aspiration - "I strive to be the best I can be."
Self - belief - "I have confidence and know I can achieve anything."
Perseverance - "I keep trying when I am faced with challenges."
Independence - "I can think for myself and take ownership of my learning and behaviour."
Respect - "I show consideration for myself, other people and my environment."
Enjoyment - "I get involved and have fun at school."
St. Bernadette's principles: "Be Ready, Be Respectful, Be Safe" provide a structure to implement our school values and Gospel values. We recognise that clear structure of predictable outcomes have the best impact on behaviour and learning and that our three principles can be apllied to avariety of situations and are taught and modelled explicitly.
