# Ethos and Values

![](https://shawcloughprimaryschool.schudio.com/images/8d9478660b40ba24e92630959ef6e169.png)

Have you noticed your child using these terms? At Shawclough we want the children to:

**Be Ready**

  ***Be ready means coming to school prepared to learn, listening carefully, and always trying your best so that you can achieve success.***

**Be Respectful**

  ***Be respectful means treating everyone with kindness, valuing differences, and showing consideration through your words and actions.***

**Be Responsible**

  ***Be responsible means making positive choices, taking ownership of your actions, and helping to keep our school safe, happy and successful for everyone.***

In assemblies, lessons, lunchtimes and throughout the day we talk to the children about how all have a part to play in making school as happy, safe and successful as possible. If you get the opportunity at home please support us in asking your child what these words mean and looking to celebrate when they are ready, respectful and responsible.

                                                           [![](https://shawcloughprimaryschool.schudio.com/images/DRIVERS.jpeg)](https://www.shawclough.rochdale.sch.uk/Our-School/SchoolDrivers)

As well as the values above we also have curriculum drivers. We want the children to Be Responsible for their learning and use the six skills above to help them with this. In Autumn One we will be helping every child be a self manager.
