These core values link directly to our whole school vision:
At the heart of Bridge, we inspire every child to SHINE and succeed to reach their full potential and become a learner for life.
SHINE high and fly
As part of our vision, we understand that character education is every bit as crucial to our pupils’ development as academic success. Our SHINE values are designed to promote and complement the five fundamental British values identified by the Department for Education:
- Democracy
- The rule of law
- Individual liberty
- Mutual respect
- Tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs
We teach our pupils the importance of SMSC (Social, Moral, Spiritual and Cultural) development so that our pupils are citizens who respect, tolerate and celebrate similarities and differences irrespective of their faith, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, class or any other perceived differences. Through our curriculum, we embrace all that life in modern Britain has to offer.
