The Goldhill Way
Shaping futures
The Goldhill Way is how we learn, play and work together. It is three simple expectations, shared by every pupil and every adult: be safe, be respectful and be ready.
Be safe
Everyone learns best when they feel safe. We look after ourselves, each other and the place we share.
We keep ourselves and others safe.
We use kind hands, kind feet and kind words.
We ask for help when we need it.
We look after our environment.
Be respectful
Everyone here has the right to learn and to be heard. We treat each other with kindness and care.
We respect everyone’s right to learn.
We listen to others.
We celebrate our differences.
We are polite and considerate.
Be ready
Being ready means turning up, having a go and letting others help when things get tricky.
We are ready to learn.
We try our best.
We accept support from adults.
We keep going even when learning is difficult.
Remember
The Goldhill Way isn’t just for the classroom. It applies to everyone, everywhere, every day. Pupils, staff and visitors, indoors and out.
Everyone.
Everywhere.
Every day.
