Our Values

Our six core values underpin all that we do at Cherry Garden. They are central to our work, behaviour and play. We use them, discuss them and celebrate them regularly, and they are one of the key things that make our school the special place that it is.

 

Confidence

To try new things and challenge ourselves to be the best that we can

To stand up for what is right

To admit when we are wrong and say ‘sorry’

 

Happiness

With ourselves

With our achievements and friendships

When others succeed

 

Excellence

In our work and behaviour

In our attitude to life and learning

In our aspirations for the future

 

Respect

For ourselves and for others

For differences in people, ideas and beliefs

For the places where we live, learn and grow up

 

Resilience

To stick at a task and not give up

To try again when things go wrong

To be positive when we face challenges

 

You

Are one of a kind

Deserve the very best

Are ‘Learning for Life’

Our approach to behaviour

At Cherry Garden, we are proud of our calm, kind, and nurturing atmosphere. Our behaviour approach is built on strong, positive relationships and clear, consistent expectations so that every child feels safe, supported, and ready to learn.

Our three school rules — Ready, Respectful, Safe — guide every interaction, and positive behaviour is celebrated through house points, certificates, and classroom recognition boards. When things go wrong, staff follow a consistent, fair, and restorative approach to help children reflect, repair, and move forward positively.

We believe that strong communication between home and school is key, and our approach ensures we work together to support every child’s success and wellbeing.
