Who we are: Our values
Brindishe children, families and staff are drawn from a rich variety of social
backgrounds, family structures, ethnic groups and religions.
The school values the right of each person to respect, courtesy and the recognition of individual differences. We work actively to ensure that all adults and children are given every opportunity to achieve, to recognise their own worth and to play an important part in our community.
Our six guiding principles are:
- children are valued as individuals and encouraged to be confident and open-minded learners
- parents, children and staff work together to set and meet high standards in their learning, attendance and behaviour
- we oppose prejudice and discrimination and work to ensure that everyone is regarded as important in our community
- staff are knowledgeable, fair, adaptable, well organised and continue to develop expertise
- we provide a high quality learning environment and an inclusive and wide-ranging curriculum
- we make clear, open and effective decisions which best support children’s learning.
We expect and work towards high achievement from all pupils. Each child’s
contribution to the classroom and school is welcomed and valued. We work
to ensure that they have the opportunity to learn to the best of their ability
and to raise their individual academic achievement.
We regularly question our assumptions and carefully select our resources, procedures and methods, choosing those that combat stereotyping and reflect our multi-cultural, multi-faith, diverse society.
Education at Brindishe is designed to benefit all our children and to celebrate the rich, cultural diversity of Lewisham’s local community.
Your support in achieving these aims is appreciated.
