Our Values

Each month at Minet, we focus on a different value. These are taken from a set of shared values which help us to work with one another co-operatively and with respect. We learn the importance of friendship and unity, and how to approach life with positivity and hope. These values make our school community happy and harmonious, a fun place, where children feel secure. Our Values are important to all pupils, staff and parents. Do encourage your child to discuss the value with you and think about how they can show that value at school. Each month a certificate is awarded to the person from each class who has demonstrated the value!

As in a family, the key to helping young people learn to behave appropriately in school lies in having a very consistent and fair approach. This policy sets out to define a code for appropriate behaviour at Minet Nursery & Infant School. The policy is based on the school’s vision of a safe, caring, thinking school and applies to every individual.

 A happy atmosphere in which staff and parents work together for the welfare of the children, and where children adopt certain standards of behaviour, develop a sense of self-discipline and an acceptance of responsibility for their actions.

We encourage children to be gentle to one another and keep each other safe. We aim for everyone to be polite, well-mannered, helpful and to become good citizens. We believe that no-one has the right to prevent another child from learning or a teacher from teaching. We aim to give all our children a shared sense of pride in attending Minet Nursery & Infant School and to feel that it is a place where they are safe to learn and play without disruption.
