School Vision

We work in active partnership to enable all children to realise their potential.

Wilstead is a Values Based School.

Values are principles that guide behaviour and choices.

We promote an educational philosophy based on valuing self, others and the environment through teaching explicit values and embedding an ethical values vocabulary.

We do this through our explicit and implicit teaching of a Values Set - vocabulary we have chosen to focus our staff and learners on developing their understanding of values-driven, ethical behaviour and choices. Our Values underpin our Code of Conduct and our core and wider curriculum.

Through our values-based learning, we aim to ensure our pupils leave school well prepared for life in modern society. Pupils are expected to treat people of all faiths, races, cultures and identities with respect and to understand that while different people may hold different views about what is ‘right’ and ‘wrong’, all people living in England are subject to its laws.
