Five Core Values

How do the five core values help me to learn in the English classroom?

The five core values show how you should behave in the classroom towards your classmates, teacher and work. This is very important as being able to carry out these values can put you at a great advantage. Having the right mindset is critical to effective learning and the five core values support this. Some values relate more to work than behaviour towards people and vice versa but I think you can, in some way, relate each value back to both behaviour and work/work ethic. For example, responsibility- you can take responsibility in your work by making sure you complete work neatly and on time and you can apply responsibility to your behaviour through and organised and independent approach to learning.

What values do I use to improve my learning from the third form?

I feel that the values that I need to improve on most from third form are courage and responsibility. I feel I need to speak up more in class and I think this all comes down to confidence. I also feel I need to take more responsibility to make sure I complete work/prep on time, focus on applying useful advice to work and coming to class with enthusiasm. Finally I feel that all the core values are incredibly important and should all be applied to not only school work but school life.
