STRIVE - Our School values
School values are crucial as they provide a clear framework that guides students' behaviour and decision-making.
They create a sense of community and belonging, helping to foster a positive and respectful school environment.
By teaching values, schools prepare students with essential life skills that extend beyond academics, shaping them into responsible and empathetic individuals.
These values encourage a culture of high expectations, motivating students to strive for excellence in all aspects of their lives.
Ultimately, school values lay the foundation for students to become engaged, thoughtful, and resilient members of society.
School values at Heron Hall Academy
The most important reason that you come to school is to develop your academic performance and prepare for the exams that you will take at the end of your time with us.
However, it is not the only reason why school is an important place and one of the key pillars of education at Heron Hall is to develop you as a well-rounded citizen.
We are confident that our students will go out and be successful in every aspect of your life outside of school.
That is why one of the key pillars of life at Heron Hall is to focus on students’ character education and to help develop the skills and traits to thrive in the rest of their life after school. We call them our STRIVE values.
STRIVE - The 6 core values that underpin character education at Heron Hall
Supportive – I help my peers and my teachers
Tolerant – I respect other people’s differences
Resilient – I never give up when it’s tough
Integrity – I do the right thing all of the time
Visionary – I aim higher and further
Excellence – I never settle for less than my best
The STRIVE values are broken down further into 24 strands.
These are further character traits that someone who shows each of the STRIVE values might embody.
