What the school offers its staff
Woodthorne’s Core Values communicate our school’s story – its mission, standards and desired outcomes. They provide the foundation for building the type of atmosphere we want to foster. They are the terms of practice that clearly define how everyone will work together to achieve Woodthorne’s vision and carry out its mission. Our core values underpin everything we do at Woodthorne Primary School. The values of Courage, Ambition, Respect and Excellence spell out the acronym ‘Care’; we are a caring school and demonstrate this by showing compassion and understanding towards each other – within our community and beyond.
All members of Woodthorne Staff will embody our school values and ethos. Staff will model the expectations of behaviour, communication, excellence, kindness and respect that we expect from the children we nurture. Staff will look out for each other, communicate respectfully, demonstrate emotional intelligence in challenging situations and above all, work together as a team.
Perry Hall Multi-Academy Trust believe that what ultimately leads to the best possible education for our pupils is continual, life-long learning through the provision of support and training to both new and more experienced leaders and teaching staff.
It is vital that staff development is ongoing, collaborative and experimental which is why our Trust deliver a range of bespoke training courses and support programmes which are tailored to the needs of those we are delivering them to. We understand fully that ‘one size doesn’t fit all’ and that every school has its own individual needs and challenges.
