Our Values: SPECIAL

At Selworthy School, our SPECIAL values underpin a strong, inclusive ethos where all learners feel safe, valued and able to succeed. Through a personalised and supportive approach, learners develop confidence, independence and resilience, enabling them to make meaningful choices and express their views. Learning is engaging and creative, promoting curiosity and perseverance, while high expectations ensure learners are aspirational and prepared for their next steps. These values actively promote learners’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development, including the fundamental British values of democracy, by encouraging learners voice; the rule of law, through clear routines and understanding of right and wrong; individual liberty, by fostering choice and independence; and mutual respect and tolerance, through positive relationships and celebration of difference. This ensures learners are well prepared for life in modern Britain.
