As a school we strive for the highest standards for our children in a happy and safe school environment. We aim to provide a secure and supportive school which enables every child to experience success and fulfil their full potential.
We use our 'Hive Values' to communicate the things that are important to our school and community. We teach the children the learning behaviours which sit behind these values so we are all able to demonstrate, articulate, celebrate what makes Cheriton Bishop a special place to be.
Joy
Joy helps children feel more motivated and excited about learning. It fosters a positive atmosphere where students can build strong relationships with their peers and teachers. Joy also encourages creativity and curiosity, which are essential for their overall development.
Community
Community creates a sense of belonging and support among students, teachers, and families. It fosters collaboration, helping students learn to work together and build positive relationships. A strong community also encourages shared values and responsibility, contributing to a safe and inclusive learning environment.
Curiosity
Curiosity encourages children to explore, ask questions and engage deeply with their learning. It fosters a love of discovery, helping students develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. By nurturing curiosity, our teachers can create a more dynamic and stimulating learning environment that keeps students excited and motivated.
Integrity
Integrity helps children develop honesty and trust, building strong relationships with peers and teachers. It encourages students to take responsibility for their actions, promoting a sense of fairness and accountability. By fostering integrity, we create a positive environment where respect, kindness, and ethical behaviour are valued.
Ambition
Ambition motivates children to set goals and strive to achieve their best. It encourages a growth mindset, helping students persevere through challenges and develop resilience. By nurturing ambition and having the highest expectations for our children, we empower children to believe in their potential and take pride in their accomplishments.
Respect
Respect creates a safe and supportive environment where students feel valued and heard. It promotes positive interactions among peers and fosters healthy relationships between students and teachers. By teaching respect, we help children develop empathy and understanding, essential qualities for building a caring community.
