Our Vision Statement
Fibbersley Park Academy is at the heart of the community. We inspire pride, passion and positivity in all that we do. Our school nurtures resilient, curious children so that they become the best they can be. We are a standout school, known for being different and creating standout people.
Our Mission
As a trust, our mission is simple:
To make us all become the best we can be.
This includes our students, their families, our staff and our governors. This is why we exist as a multi academy trust and is transversal and perennial.
In order to achieve this we have a single objective, or ultimate goal in the longer term:
To create a transformative family of standout schools who share a passion for excellence and innovation.
Our strategy for achieving this objective is three-fold:
Great schools
Great services
Great capacity
British Values
The DfE states that there is a requirement
“to create and enforce a clear and rigorous expectation on all schools to promote the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs.”
The government set out its definition of British values in the 2011 Prevent Strategy. At our school these values are addressed in the following ways:
- Democracy
Pupils have the opportunity to have their voices heard through our Pupil Council and Pupil questionnaires. Our school policy on positive behaviour and discipline clearly references our school’s values and involves rewards and sanctions; this is shared through all aspects of school life and also shared with parents, carers and children. - The Rule of Law
The importance of rules and laws, whether they be those that govern the class, the school, or the country, are reinforced throughout regular school PSHE lessons, as well as through whole school assemblies. Visits from authorities such as the Police and Fire Service are regular parts of our calendar and help reinforce this message. - Individual Liberty
Children are actively encouraged to make choices, knowing that they are in a safe and supportive environment. As a school we educate and provide boundaries for the children to enable them to make positive and appropriate decisions in relation to their behaviour. Children are given the freedom to make choices and to respect the decisions and choices of others. - Mutual Respect
Our school ethos and behaviour policy revolves around core values such as honesty and responsibility. Assemblies related to what these values mean are central to promoting respect. - Tolerance of those of Different Faiths and Beliefs
This is achieved through enhancing pupils understanding of their place in a culturally diverse society and by giving them opportunities to experience such diversity. Assemblies and discussions involving prejudices and prejudice-based bullying have been followed and further supported by learning in RE and PSHE. Our RE curriculum, teaches the main faiths and focuses upon learning about religion and learning from religion, we promote tolerance of the beliefs of others.
