Ethos & Values
Like all good schools, we're driven by our values above all else. We define these as:
Excellence - Everyone in our community will know and experience success
The most for those that need the most - We will meet the needs of all our learners
Known and valued - Everyone here will be celebrated for who they are and what they do
Collective endeavour - We will achieve success together
Joy - Everyone will know and create joy
These five values determine all that we do, and every part of the school flows from them. They set the direction and act as a compass to ensure we continue to grow and develop as a school in the way that we feel best supports all our students.
Promoting British Values
FSD is fully committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all its students. As a school we recognise that safeguarding against radicalisation is no different from safeguarding against any other vulnerability.
All staff are expected to uphold and promote the fundamental principles of British values, including democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, mutual respect, and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs.
On 1 July 2015 the Prevent duty (section 26) of The Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015 came into force. This duty places the responsibility on local authorities to have due regard to the need to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism.
As part of Framwellgate School Durham’s commitment to safeguarding and child protection we fully support the Government’s Prevent Strategy.
