March sees the Core Value focus coming back to Empathy with Key Stage 2 pupils looking at the linked value of Compassion. These are very important values to develop in our children as they encourage pupils to think about how others might be feeling and showing them kindness and understanding.  

Reception pupils will also come back to the core Value of Empathy building on what they learnt during Autumn 2 and learning more about being kind and cooperating.

Nursery pupils will continue to build on their understanding of Resilience for one more month. They will still be using the connected vocabulary of trying and patience.

We are also still encouraging all pupils in Years 4, 5 and 6 to demonstrate their values at school, at home and in the local community by completing Bronze, Silver and Gold levels of our Values Baccalaureate.

Please continue to talk about our Values with your children as they help them develop both morally and support their academic work. Please see our Values page and the specific webpages on Empathy and Resilience for our resources, including Values Baccalaureate task cards.
