Fairway School - Ethos & Values

"Nurturing Growth and Inspiring Success"

We believe every child is unique and full of potential. Our school is a safe, inclusive, and inspiring place where children are encouraged to be curious, kind, and confident learners. Everything we do is underpinned by our 'Super Six' values, which guide how we learn, play, and grow together.

A Values-Led Education

Cooperation

We work together as a team – listening, sharing, and supporting one another to achieve our best. Whether in the classroom or on the playground, we know we are stronger when we work as one.

Courage

We face challenges with bravery and determination. We encourage our pupils to try new things, take risks in their learning, and stand up for what is right.

Responsibility

We take pride in doing the right thing – for ourselves, each other, and our environment. Every child is encouraged to be a responsible member of our school and wider community.

Honesty

We are truthful and trustworthy. We understand that honesty builds strong relationships and helps us learn from our mistakes.

Self-Discipline

We manage our choices, actions, and emotions. By staying focused and showing self-control, we build independence and resilience.

Respect

We treat everyone with kindness, fairness, and care. We value all people, cultures, and beliefs, and we celebrate what makes each of us unique.

At Fairway School, our ethos and values are woven into daily life. From assemblies and lessons to forest school and lunchtime activities, we promote positive behaviour, strong relationships, and a sense of belonging.

We are committed to helping every child grow not just academically, but socially and emotionally too – so they leave us well-rounded, confident, and ready for the next stage of their journey.

Wellbeing and the Whole Child

At Fairway School, we believe that happy, healthy children learn best. That’s why we prioritise the wellbeing of every pupil – emotionally, socially, physically, and mentally. We are committed to nurturing the whole child, helping them to develop a strong sense of self-worth, resilience, and confidence.

Our approach to wellbeing is embedded across the school day – from caring relationships with staff and a focus on emotional literacy, to outdoor learning, creative opportunities, and a safe, supportive environment. We want every child to feel seen, heard, and valued – and to leave Fairway School not just with excellent academic outcomes, but with the tools they need to flourish in life.
