Our Values and Mission Statement
Our School Mission Statement
Broadway Primary School is a vibrant, inclusive community dedicated to unlocking the full potential of every pupil. Through personalised learning, targeted interventions, and a dynamic GROW curriculum, we empower our pupils to become confident, resilient, and adaptable lifelong learners. By fostering a culture of respect, empathy, and environmental stewardship, we prepare our pupils to be responsible citizens who can meet the challenges of the changing world.
Our Schools Values
At the heart of Broadway Primary School's ethos are the core values of care, cooperation, and curiosity. These values are deeply embedded throughout the school community and are reinforced through the school's unique charitable house point system. Pupils are encouraged to demonstrate care for one another, their school, and the wider community. This is exemplified through acts of kindness, empathy, and a genuine concern for the wellbeing of all. Cooperation is also highly valued, as pupils work together in their house teams to support each other's learning and contribute to charitable initiatives. The school fosters a spirit of teamwork and collaboration, preparing pupils to be responsible citizens who can positively contribute to society. Underpinning these values is a sense of curiosity, as pupils are inspired to be inquisitive, explore new ideas, and develop a love of learning. The house point system rewards pupils not only for their academic achievements, but also for exhibiting the school's core values through charitable fundraising, and other community-focused activities. This holistic approach ensures that Broadway Primary School nurtures well-rounded individuals who embody the values of care, cooperation, and curiosity.
British Values
At Broadway Primary School we actively promote British Values, through our school vision, ethos, agreed rules, curriculum and teaching: ‘ensure that they and the school promote tolerance of and respect for people of all faiths (or those of no faith), cultures and lifestyles; and support and help, through their words, actions and influence within the school and more widely in the community, to prepare children and young people positively for life in modern Britain’.
The government define these values as:
- Democracy
- Rule of law
- Individual liberty
- Mutual respect
- Tolerance of those of different faiths
At Broadway Primary we value the diverse ethnic backgrounds of all pupils and families and undertake a variety of events and lessons to celebrate these. We have found this approach to be enriching for all parties as it teaches tolerance and respect for the differences in our
community and the wider world. Underpinning all of this are a range of curriculum topics which have strong links to the British Empire. We actively challenge children, staff or parents expressing opinions contrary to fundamental British Values, including ‘extremist’ views.
To promote these values:
- We have an elected school council where pupil’s voices are heard and pupils also have the opportunity to complete questionnaires. We have elected council head and vice which represent and act as role models for the school, alongwith our Well being ambassadors.
- Our collective worship calendar actively promotes these values through the use of PSHE, RE and SEAL objectives. These values are a focus for each term and incorporated further into PSHE and RE lessons.
- Pupils are taught the value and reasons behind laws, that they govern and protect us, the responsibilities that this involves and the consequences when laws are broken. Visits from authorities such as the Police, Fire Service, etc. are regular parts of our calendar and help reinforce this message. In the broad and balanced curriculum that we deliver there is opportunity to discuss these.
- Pupils are actively encouraged and supported to make informed choices, to know and exercise their rights and personal freedom, but safely for example through our e-safety policy.
- Our positive behaviour policy encourages tolerance and mutual respect.
- We visit different places of worship and have visitors to school from other faiths.
- As a whole school, we have celebrated special British events.
- Our house sytem focuses on Charity and the understanding of helping others (Currently, Derian House, Men Shed, Sophie Lancaster Foundation and East Lancashire Down Syndrome)
