Vision, Ethos & Values

At Danesfield, we celebrate each child's unique potential and create an inclusive, happy and nurturing community where children thrive.

Underpinned by our values of:

Courage – We embrace challenges with bravery and resilience

Ambition – We aim high and believe in ourselves

Respect – We treat everyone with fairness

Kindness – We show care and empathy in our words and actions

Through our vision, we aim to enable our pupils to:

• Celebrate their creativity and develop confidence in expressing new ideas.
• Embrace challenges with courage, building resilience and adaptability across a range of tasks, subjects, and skills.
• Gain knowledge, understanding, and transferable skills that prepare them for life in a rapidly changing world.
• Think critically and independently, making informed choices with confidence.
• Show respect and appreciation for people of all backgrounds, beliefs, and ways of life.
• Communicate effectively - verbally, in writing, and through digital technologies.
• Take risks in their learning, understanding that mistakes are part of growth.
• Develop ambition and self-belief, so that they feel confident, fulfilled, and proud of their achievements at every stage.
• Retain a lifelong love of learning, inspired by curiosity and enjoyment.

While we are ambitious for every child’s academic success, we also place great importance on their happiness and wellbeing. At Danesfield, we provide opportunities to learn both inside and outside the classroom, ensuring that children develop the essential life skills they need to thrive as kind, confident, and successful young people.
