Ethos, Values and Vision & Written Statement of Behaviour Principles

CRAVEN PRS Core Values and Beliefs

Craven PRS is driven be six core values, centred around our most important seventh value of GROWTH. We want all our young people to grow and be able to remove or manage the barriers that have resulted in their joining our school. These values are explicitly taught throughout our curriculum.

Grit mindset to attain success through endurance, perseverance, resilience, passion, hard work, and practise, practise, practise

Respect for yourself, for each other and for all adults. This value is central all our intervention work on behaviour, communication, and conduct. Especially in respecting diversity and choices of individuals in our community.

Obstacles Make us Stronger this mind set is intended to create adaptable learners, who thrive when challenged, regardless of whether the task looks hard or unpleasant.

Win or learn there is no such thing as a wrong answer or failure. We either succeed in achieving our goal or learn how to succeed in the future.

Teamwork, everyone working together to achieve ambitious goals

Honesty with others and always to yourself

Finally, the seventh of Growth, or more specifically,

“Growth for All”
