Core values have been developed by SPIDER parents and teachers over time.
We review these once a year.
At the 2024/2025 Year End Parents Meeting, everyone was given four dots to use to indicate the 5 core values that were most important to them. Those with less votes are not unimportant; they’re still part of our top 10.
