Our Core Values

At Bartley Green School, our core values are more than words displayed on a wall, they are the foundation of everything we do. They shape our culture, guide our decisions and define the expectations we hold for ourselves and one another.

Aspiration drives us to aim high and believe in what is possible. We encourage every student to set ambitious goals, embrace challenge and strive for excellence in all areas of school life.

Acceptance ensures that everyone feels valued and included. We celebrate diversity, promote understanding and create a safe environment where every individual can be themselves.

Achievement reflects our commitment to success, academically, socially and personally. We recognise effort, progress and accomplishment, knowing that success looks different for every learner.

Respect underpins our relationships. We treat each other with kindness, integrity and consideration, fostering a positive and supportive community.

Reward reinforces the behaviours and attitudes that help our students thrive. We celebrate contributions, commitment and character, recognising that effort and resilience deserve acknowledgement.

Together, these values inform how we teach, how we lead and how we learn. They guide our behaviour policies, curriculum design, enrichment opportunities and pastoral care systems. They ensure that high expectations are matched with high levels of support.

At Bartley Green School, our values are lived daily in classrooms, on the sports field, in performances and within the wider community. They help us create an environment where every student can flourish and leave us prepared for their next stage of life with confidence and pride.
