REACHAt Collingwood primary school we believe our core values are very important and form a huge part of our school ethos and community.In the summer term we consulted children, parents, staff and governors in order to create own new set of core values. We created the acronym ‘REACH’ that encompasses all of our values. It stands for;

R – Respect

E - Equality

A – Achieve

C – Cooperate

H - Happy

After running our ’REACH' logo competition and announcing the winners in the summer term we have now developed our core values even further.Each classroom now has a ‘REACH’ display focusing on respect for the first half of the autumn term. The display looks at how each class shows that particular core value.

We have also been talking about ‘REACH’ during assembly. Throughout the school the children have been responding to our question ‘How do you show respect?’ which is up on the board in the large hall.
