The Fairfield Values

Our curriculum is underpinned by core fundamental values.

These form the basis of everything we do in school.

The Fairfield Four are:

• We ALWAYS aim high
• We ALWAYS have the confidence to try new things
• We ALWAYS value and support each other
• We ALWAYS show good sportsmanship and work as a team

In addition to the values we aim to:

• Encourage each pupil to reach their potential by developing qualities of self-discipline, motivation and commitment.
• Help pupils develop an understanding of their own identity and personal moral values
• Help pupils develop respect and tolerance of other races, religions, cultures and life-styles
• Help pupils to develop lively and enquiring minds, the ability to question and discuss rationally, to investigate and solve problems, and to effectively apply themselves to mental and physical tasks
• Guide pupils to acquire understanding, knowledge and skills relevant to adult life and employment in a fast changing world
• Help pupils gain competence in language, numeracy, information and communication technology skills (ICT), and scientific methodology, so that they can communicate effectively using these skills
• Help pupils understand the world in which they live and the interdependence of individuals, groups and society
• Help pupils to value aspirations and achievement
• Help pupils to understand the importance of developing a social responsibility towards those less fortunate than themselves
