At New Chapter our community code and core values underpin all that we do and are embedded across the school. These are regularly shared and discussed in Ethos and House assemblies, in curriculum and pastoral time and when we are following restorative practices when resolving problems.
COMMUNITY CODE:
LEARNING, LOVE AND LAUGHTER
CORE VALUES:
HONESTY, INTEGRITY, EQUALITY, TOLERANCE, RESPECT, RESPONSIBILITY AND KINDNESS
