- We always challenge poor behavior in ourselves and others.
- We are open to new ideas and seek fresh challenges.

- We keep our promises.
- We act with integrity – doing the right thing, even when it is difficult or when no one is watching.
- We respect and value our traditions whilst setting them in the context of today.
Humility
- We work hard to serve others within the School and across our wider communities, where possible putting their interests before our own.
- We give and seek honest and appropriate feedback, reflect on our failures and learn from them.
- We support each other through challenges and, whatever the outcome, we celebrate those that took part.
Fellowship
- We respect each other and value our differences, knowing that we are more effective and more resilient working together.
- We are kind and inclusive; we value the contribution that each of us makes.
- We role model the behaviors that we would like to see in others; we ask only of others what we would be prepared to do ourselves.
