Values & Ethos

ENJOYMENT for every child and adult

ENGAGEMENT in stimulating, relevant and diverse opportunities , and

 EXCELLENCE for learning and life

In September 2024, we refreshed our school values to reflect the essential attributes we aim to instil in our children throughout their time at Gillingham Primary School. These values ensure they leave us equipped with the necessary skills and beliefs to be responsible citizens. 

We reflect on a different value each half term.  These values are discussed and celebrated in class and assemblies. Children are awarded certificates for demonstrating our school values - these are celebrated in assemblies, shared on displays throughout school and on newsletters with our families. 

• To ensure every member of our school community is welcomed, included and valued as an individual.
• To keep learning and personal development at the heart of all that we do
• To discover, celebrate and nurture the talents, skills and personalities of every member of the school community
• To encourage and instil a sense of ambition towards, and a readiness for, future challenges and opportunities
• To work together to equip every child with the attitudes and skills that enable them to be positive and giving members of society; guided by a strong moral compass
