Our vision and values

Aspiring to achieve our best: Moving forward together

HPS TRAIN Values

Heathcoat Primary is a truly inclusive school where every member of the school community is valued. We are passionate about enabling our children to do their best and strive to offer a curriculum and learning environment that supports all pupils in reaching their potential.

Our vision for all children is that they aspire to achieve their best in all areas of life including their social, emotional, academic and spiritual development. As a school, we are dedicated to moving forward together and supporting each other in fulfilling this vision.

Our school ethos is value driven with good values taught integrally in all that we do. Values are principles that guide behaviour.  At Heathcoat Primary School all adults are encouraged to model values and to give time for reflective practices. We believe that this empowers individuals to be effective learners and good global citizens.

We focus in particular on 5 key values, the initials of which spell out the word TRAIN.

We promote and teach these values to our children through our assemblies, as well as weaving them into every day lessons and school life.

We particularly celebrate children’s behaviour which embraces the TRAIN values and, when children achieve ‘Dark Green’, we will indicate on their certificate which TRAIN values they have been using.

T – Teamwork
R – Respect
A – Aim High
I – Independence
N – Never Give Up!
