School Values
Creating Excellence, Embracing All
The Botley School Vision
A high-quality education in a positive and happy school, where everyone is included, celebrated and encouraged to be a creative lifelong learner.
Our Core Values
At Botley School, six principles underpin everything we do. They shape how we teach, support our pupils, and interact with our wider community.
Inclusivity: We celebrate diversity and ensure everyone feels welcome. We strive to create an environment where all children, regardless of background or ability, have equal opportunities to succeed.
Teamwork: We believe in the power of collaboration. We encourage pupils to support each other, share ideas, and achieve common goals together.
Kindness: We foster a culture of compassion and empathy, encouraging pupils to treat one another with respect and understanding.
Respect: We value the uniqueness of every individual. We foster an environment where everyone feels safe, respected, and valued.
Resilience: We empower children to embrace challenges and learn from setbacks. We believe resilience is essential for success and happiness.
Creativity: We encourage pupils to think outside the box, explore new ideas, and solve problems through innovation.
Living Our Values
These values were chosen following a consultation with pupils, staff, parents, and community leaders. We embed them into daily life through our "Whole School Assemblies," where we explore each value in turn, and through the language we use in the classroom every day.
