Values and Ethos

As an all-through school, we pride ourselves on all phases (children working in primary and seniors) being united under a shared set of values and principles whilst recognising that leaders in these phases require the autonomy to drive phase-appropriate improvements.  

We also pride ourselves on the positive relationships we foster, knowing every young person as an individual and challenging each of them to have the highest possible aspirations.  

We are ambitious for every child who attends Mayfield to experience an education which enables children to Believe. Achieve. Succeed.

We achieve this all through our shared set of values Respect. Inclusion. Ambition.

Our vision is to create a family ethos that raises aspirations and makes a real difference to the life chances of our young people.

All stakeholders, together, will create an environment of respect and inclusion where all young people are valued, supported, inspired and future-ready.

Believe. Achieve. Succeed. 

Believe. 

To believe in ourselves, our own abilities, in other people and the world around us.  

Achieve. 

To achieve our full potential by successfully reaching our goals through effort, skill and confidence. 

Succeed. 

To succeed in becoming the person we want to be. 

Respect. Inclusion. Ambition.

 

 In primary, we use the value heroes to help us ensure that we remember these values.

Our value heroes are;

Respectful Rio, Inclusive Indy and ... (pending outcome of our pupil vote)

 

Both the primary and senior school phases came together on our first Personal Development Day of the academic year 2024-2025.

This day involved a variety of activities, events and invited speakers to enable us to reshape the school values. Throughout the day, all pupils, students and staff generated values based on these experiences.

We were all able to come together to celebrate the days' events and what we had achieved.

These values were then shortlisted to our most important 15.

Through a community vote of all stakeholders, 15 have become 3.

These are Respect. Inclusion. Ambition.

All of our new values have been introduced during assemblies. Our primary pupils have also been voting for the value heroes which best represent each of the values. We have Respectful Rio, Inclusive Indy and Ambitious .......

 

Believe.
Achieve.
Succeed.
