Old Stratford Primary School's Values
'Creating Lifelong Learning opportunities for everyone'
Values of Old Stratford Primary School – Empowering Children to be SMART Learners
At Old Stratford Primary, our values are at the heart of everything we do. They shape how we learn, how we treat one another, and how we grow as individuals. These values are not just words, they are lived out by our children every single day, celebrated weekly, and embedded in every aspect of school life.
Self-Confident
Our children are encouraged to believe in themselves, to share their ideas, and to take pride in who they are. They show confidence when performing in assemblies, answering questions in class, or taking on new challenges. We celebrate every child’s voice and achievements, no matter how big or small.
Motivated
Children at Old Stratford are inspired to always try their best. They approach learning with enthusiasm, curiosity, and determination. Whether tackling a tricky maths problem or creating imaginative writing, their motivation drives them forward. We recognise their efforts and celebrate their perseverance.
Aspirational
We nurture children’s dreams and encourage them to aim high. They set personal goals and take pride in striving towards them, whether in their learning, sports, arts, or friendships. By celebrating their successes and progress, we show that with ambition and effort, they can achieve great things.
Resilient
Resilience is at the core of our children’s learning journey. They understand that mistakes are part of growth and never give up when faced with difficulties. Our children demonstrate resilience by problem solving, adapting to challenges, and supporting one another. Their determination is celebrated and valued.
Team Players
Collaboration is central to our school community. Our children show kindness, respect, and cooperation every day , whether working in groups, playing on the playground, or supporting younger peers. Being a team player helps everyone shine, and we celebrate these acts of teamwork and friendship throughout the week.
Together, these values empower our children to be SMART learners, prepared not only for their next steps in education but for life beyond school.
