Values 

• At The Shrubberies School pupils are valued and respected equally
• They are recognised as individuals with differing personalities and the ability to excel in differing ways
• Each pupil is respected regardless of gender, race, creed, gender identity or disability and it is believed that with a positive and optimistic approach from all concerned, each and every pupil can be helped to reach his or her potential in preparation for their life as active citizens
• Pupils are supported in a calm and non-confrontational manner, to behave in a way that enables them to make the most of their opportunities.  They are encouraged to develop respect and understanding of the needs and rights of others, as well as their own.
• We recognise that the school staff are not working in isolation and the view and experiences of both pupils, parents and other professionals are taken into consideration at all times.
