Ethos and Values

Values:

As a school, we live our values in all that we do each day. So much so we wear them on our badge. Effort, Encouragement and Excellence are embedded into the fabric of the school. We want all pupils to follow the Penkridge Middle Way as we believe that this will give everyone the best opportunity to succeed both in the school and as a contributor to the local community and beyond, both now and in the future.

Ethos:

Our ethos derives from having a school community that is happy, healthy and safe. We believe that achieving that for all within the school community including pupils, parents, carers, staff and stakeholders will bring about both academic and personal growth and ensure that Penkridge Middle School is a place to feel proud to attend each day.

To promote a culture of respect and care for both others and the environment, through our simple rules: ready, respectful and safe.
