ETHOS AND VALUES

Cotteridge School Mission Statement

To be a vibrant and inspirational centre of Educational Excellence, where minds are opened and all learners aspire to fulfil their dreams.

Simply put, we strive to give our pupils a world class education. This is summarised in our vision:

Achieving Excellence Inspiring Dreams

Our ethos is one of care, support and respect. We build this ethos around a curriculum which challenges and stretches children whilst still understanding their individual needs. The students of today must demonstrate not just academic success but also that they can develop projects over a period of time, that they can work alone and in groups, that they can adapt to new ideas, use modern technology, solve problems, and above all that they are committed to a life of continued learning.

The school talks about our values regularly and how these are reflected in children’s behaviour.

Our values are:

Care

Open Mindedness

Thoughtfulness

Teamwork

Encouragement

Respect

Inclusion

Determination

Growth

Excellence

Our ethos is reflected in our partnership with UNICEF and the Rights Respecting School Award.
