Our Vision and Values
OUR VISION
The Downland Federation Primaries
“Learning Together, learning for life; A seamless education from 2-18”
“Strong in spirit, full of wisdom” Luke 2:40
As a federation of schools, we believe in an equal balance of academic excellence and personal and spiritual development. We selected this bible verse and as we feel it embodied our vision for all our learners.
At Beedon, we nurture all individual’s unique skills and talents; inspiring every child to achieve more than they thought possible.
Our values are:
Respect Resilience Kindness

Pupils have the opportunity to have their voices heard.
Pupils should have an understanding of how citizens can influence decision making through the democratic process. |
Pupils have an appreciation that living under the rule of law protects individual citizens and is essential for their wellbeing and safety.
The importance of laws, whether they are those that govern the class, the school or the country, are consistently reinforced throughout the school day, as well as when we are dealing with behaviour and delivering worship. |
Pupils will have an understanding that the freedom to choose and hold other faiths and beliefs is protected in law.
We believe in empowering our pupils to make their own choices, knowing that they are in a safe and supportive environment. |
Pupils must be encouraged to regard people of all faiths, races and cultures with respect and tolerance. |
Pupils will have an acceptance that other people having different faiths or beliefs to oneself (or having none) should be accepted and tolerated, and should not be the cause of prejudicial or discriminatory behaviour; and an understanding of the importance of identifying and combatting discrimination. |

Through their provision of SMSC, schools should:
• enable students to develop their self-knowledge, self-esteem and self-confidence;
• enable students to distinguish right from wrong and to respect the civil and criminal law of England;
• encourage students to accept responsibility for their behaviour, show initiative, and to understand how they can contribute positively to the lives of those living and working in the locality of the school and to society more widely;
• enable students to acquire a broad general knowledge of and respect for public institutions and services in England;
• further tolerance and harmony between different cultural traditions by enabling students to acquire an appreciation of and respect for their own and other cultures;
• encourage respect for other people; and
• encourage respect for democracy and support for participation in the democratic processes, including respect for the basis on which the law is made and applied in England.
