At Tudor Grange Primary Academy – Meon Vale, we pride ourselves in being part of a family of schools who are strong together in the Tudor Grange Academies Trust.  We believe in getting the fundamentals right from the start and sharing with our pupils and community the values that we have created that underpin our foundations evidenced through our actions and not words alone.

At the heart of our ethos and culture is Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs – we believe in ‘HUMANKIND’ and want our school community of pupils, staff, parents to feel safe, valued, respected and understood as individuals.  Only then can we strive for individual and collective ‘betterment’.

Our three core values are underpinned by the Tudor Grange Academies Trust five core values. Our core values are:

KINDNESS AND COMPASSION:

• Being considerate, patient and thoughtful.
• Tolerating the thoughts of others and challenging them where appropriate respectfully.
• Developing in our pupils and our community a “sympathetic consciousness of others’ distress together with a desire to alleviate it.”

RESPONSIBILITY:

• Contributing positively in our school and wider community
• Being ready to learn and to always doing our best 
• Attending school punctually and maintaining high expectations of attendance
• Wearing our full uniform with pride
• Treating our school like our homes and looking after our own and other people’s belongings
• Being considerate and courteous in our actions and words. 

RESPECT:

• Treating others as we would want to be treated ourselves
• Developing self-respect and taking responsibility for our actions in order to grow in to the best versions of ourselves
• Listening and responding to staff and other pupils positively.
• Recognising the importance of mental health and wellbeing and knowing we can reach a point when our buckets are full which affects our abilities to regulate our behaviours without support
• Knowing who our safe people and places are to buffer us when we need extra support

Promoting British Values

The Department for Education have said they want to “create and enforce a clear and rigorous expectation on all schools to promote the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs.”

Tudor Grange Primary Academy Meon Vale actively promotes British Values, ensuring our young people leave school prepared for life in modern Britain. Pupils are encouraged to regard people of all faiths, races and cultures with respect and tolerance, and understand that while different people may hold different views of right and wrong our actions are subject to law. At Meon Vale we uphold British Values through our spiritual, moral, social and cultural education which permeates through the school’s curriculum, assemblies, supporting the development of the whole child.
