The Silchester Way
Through our core Christian values and caring school ethos, we nurture our children, supporting the development of their character. Through establishing trusting relationships and thriving friendships, we strive for all our children to develop a sense of belonging at Silchester. We aim for all our children to develop confidence to be themselves and to take risks. We want them to be motivated and grow in self-belief that they can make a difference to our school and within our wider community.
Our aim is that the children of Silchester are confident in their own self-worth and resilient overcoming the obstacles they face.
Their skills, learning, memories of experiences and positive relationships will empower them to contribute to the wider world and make a difference.
We aim for our children to be lifelong learners who are grounded in our core Christian values of compassion, courage and respect, and ready to embrace their next step – whatever that may be.
‘The Silchester Way’, outlined in the diagram below, demonstrates how our learning behaviours, curriculum principles and signature pedagogies are influenced by our values of compassion, courage and respect. The teaching of our curriculum is rooted in Our Silchester Way and through this, we strive to deliver our aim for all children in all lessons.
