--- title: "Our Vision & Values" url: "https://www.bowerhill.wilts.sch.uk/about-us/our-vision-values" school: "Bowerhill Primary School" --- # Our Vision & Values At Bowerhill Primary School our **vision** is to enable ALL children to **EXPERIENCE SUCCESS** through **BUILDING** **ASPIRATION** within them. Equally as important, to **BUILD ASPIRATION** through the **SUCCESS** they **EXPERIENCE**… we want all children to experience just how far they can fly! We will do this through all the opportunities and curriculum we provide them with, the relationships we foster and through offering a safe and securing, caring environment to learn. By **SUCCESS** and **ASPIRATION** we mean: - Live their lives by the values instilled in them at school - Fulfil their potential and realise the plans for their lives - academic, moral, emotional, spiritual, physical - Make good progress from their starting points… whatever they may be - Develop great learning skills for life and a deep and broad knowledge base - Be ready and well-prepared for their next steps in life (cultural capital) - Develop strong, resilient character through our Personal Development curriculum - Have the highest aspirations for themselves and for others - Be confident communicators in a variety of contexts and for a range of purposes - Enjoy their own uniqueness and therefore have high self-esteem - Be independent in their learning - Be confident and happy young people that have a broad understanding and tolerance of the world and others around them - Have a strong sense of hope for their future - Have a life-long curiosity which gives confidence to ask big questions about the world --- ### Our School Values Underpinning everything that we do at Bowerhill Primary School are our 6 values: ![](https://www.bowerhill.wilts.sch.uk/images/image004.png) We believe that if our children are able to embody these 6 values by the time they leave us, it will stand them in very good stead for the future. ### British Values The aims outlined above incorporate and reflect the British values of tolerance, fairness, respect for other faiths, respect for rules, and the role of democracy in society. Our school council will play a key role in promoting these values, alongside our PSHE and RE teaching which form a major part of social, moral, spiritual, and cultural education. ### Promoting Our Values The government defines British values as: - Democracy. - Rule of law. - Individual liberty. - Mutual respect. - Tolerance of those of different faiths. At Bowerhill Primary School, we value the diverse ethnic backgrounds of all pupils and families and undertake a variety of events and lessons to celebrate these. We have found this approach to be enriching for all parties as it teaches understanding, respect and empathy for the differences in our community and the wider world. Underpinning all of this is a range of curriculum topics that have strong links to the British Empire. We actively challenge children, staff, and parents expressing opinions contrary to fundamental British values, including 'extremist' views. As part of **[The White Horse Federation](https://www.bowerhill.wilts.sch.uk/about-us/the-white-horse-federation)**, we passionately believe that by working together, the children are able to have a higher quality of education, and that as colleagues, we will also benefit from and reap the rewards of a values-based organisation where no one is left behind. ### About Us - [About our School](https://www.bowerhill.wilts.sch.uk/about-us/about-our-school) - [Our Vision & Values](https://www.bowerhill.wilts.sch.uk/about-us/our-vision-values) - [Our Staff](https://www.bowerhill.wilts.sch.uk/about-us/our-staff) - [The White Horse Federation](https://www.bowerhill.wilts.sch.uk/about-us/the-white-horse-federation) - [Admissions](https://www.bowerhill.wilts.sch.uk/about-us/admissions) - [Careers](https://www.bowerhill.wilts.sch.uk/about-us/careers) - [Ofsted Report](https://www.bowerhill.wilts.sch.uk/about-us/ofsted-and-results) - [Safeguarding](https://www.bowerhill.wilts.sch.uk/about-us/safeguarding) - [Local Governance Committee](https://www.bowerhill.wilts.sch.uk/about-us/local-governance-committee) - [School Information](https://www.bowerhill.wilts.sch.uk/about-us/school-information) ![Bowerhill Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/bowerhill-primary-school/images/logo/Bowerhill_Logo_WO.png) **Bowerhill Primary School** Halifax Road Bowerhill Melksham SN12 6YH Tel: 01225 700964 ### Useful Links - [Privacy Policy](https://thewhitehorsefederation.org.uk/privacy-policy) - [Cookies](https://thewhitehorsefederation.org.uk/cookies) - [GDPR](https://thewhitehorsefederation.org.uk/about-our-trust/gdpr) - [Modern Slavery Statement](https://thewhitehorsefederation.org.uk/modern-slavery-statement) - [Equality Act](https://files.schudio.com/the-white-horse-federation/files/documents/policies/08_SP_V1_Equality,_Diversity_and_Inclusion_Policy_2026.pdf) ### Useful Links - [Behaviour Policy](https://files.schudio.com/the-white-horse-federation/files/documents/04_SP_V9_Behaviour_Policy_2026(1).pdf) - [Careers](https://www.bowerhill.wilts.sch.uk/about-us/careers) - [Curriculum ](https://www.bowerhill.wilts.sch.uk/overview) - [Facilities for Hire](https://schoolhire.co.uk/melksham/bowerhill) - [Arbor payments](https://www.bowerhill.wilts.sch.uk/for-parents/school-life/arbor-payments) - [Contact Us](https://www.bowerhill.wilts.sch.uk/contact) Proud to be a part of [**The White Horse Federation**](https://thewhitehorsefederation.org.uk/) **[![](https://www.bowerhill.wilts.sch.uk/images/TWHF_(1).png)](https://thewhitehorsefederation.org.uk/)** Registered in England: Company Number: **08075785** Registered Office: Plymouth St, Swindon SN1 2LB © Copyright 2023–2026 Bowerhill Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.bowerhill.wilts.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
