Our Barley Hill Values

Each half term, we celebrate a different value. 

We launch each value with a whole school assembly. This assembly defines the  meaning and introduces it for the half term. Then the final assembly of the half term celebrates children in each class who have shown this value. 

Children then delve further into the meaning and understanding of the value in their classes, where discussion and conversation can be had. The values curriculum follows a progressive format and children explore:  

• What the value means to them, individually. 
• What the value means to their friends and family. 
• How the value impacts their local community.  
• And finally, how the value is shown across the UK and within the wider world.   

To conclude the half term we have our celebration assembly, a child from each class is chosen to receive a certificate to take home to celebrate them showing the current value. In addition to this, throughout the half term, class teachers award values stickers to children demonstrating the current value. They can wear these stickers with pride! A poster of each value is displayed in classrooms and over the course of the year, a 'wall of values' is created. 

Each value is paired with a role model who has significantly demonstrated this value in their life. Children learn about these role models within assemblies and their classes and a photo of the role model is added to the 'wall of values'. Role models are explored on a 2 year cycle. 

Our values are promoted across the curriculum and link to British Values.
