Determination

This half term, our School Value is Determination, which we will be explicitly teaching and celebrating throughout the school.

We teach children that determination is the ability to keep going when things are challenging. It means staying focused on goals, showing resilience in the face of difficulties, and refusing to give up when obstacles arise. Through assemblies, lessons, and daily interactions, we will help children understand that determined people learn from their mistakes, persevere through setbacks, and remain committed to achieving their goals. Determination also links closely to the British Value of Individual Liberty. We will teach children that having the freedom to make positive choices comes with the responsibility to work towards their goals and aspirations. By showing determination, children develop the confidence, independence, and resilience needed to make the most of the opportunities available to them and to become successful, responsible members of society.
