Values
Underlying the aims and purposes are the values that the school holds as being important in the
development of young people.
• Respectful. Self-respect and respect for others, property and the school environment;
• Disciplined. The development of self-discipline;
• Honest. The importance of truth, fairness, justice;
• Tolerant. Consideration and tolerance of others and their views;
• Supportive. Always willing to help others;
• Responsible. Responsibility for one’s own actions.
As a consequence of supporting these values, the school specifically rejects behaviour that involves, for example, bullying, vandalism, intolerance, indiscipline.
These values are reflected in the way in which the school is structured and organised and, most importantly, by the role models set by the King Edward VI community in their day-to-day dealings with each other.
