This months value is TOLERANCE !
One of our priorities this year for the whole school development is to become a Values based school. Every month we base our assemblies and Personal, Social and Health Education on a different value. We believe that we all have a responsibility to live out these values in our day to day work.
The children will come to understand that values are important if people in our society are going to live happily together.
