Our Values and Key Themess
Values are principles that drive our behaviour. They influence our relationships with others and they determine the way we behave. We want Diamond Wood Community Academy to be a school where children and adults experience values in a positive way. All Governors, staff, parents and pupils discussed which values are important to them and agreed on our list of 5 key values.
Each Value is introduced at the beginning of each half term in an Assembly, Value Posters are displayed in all classrooms and shared ideas, activities are planned to reinforce the principles of the value and the information is shared with parents via Newsletters.
