The Gusford Primary School motto is:

'TOGETHER WE BELIEVE, LEARN & ACHIEVE'

Our three rights are:

The right to be safe

The right to be respected

The right to learn

Our school values are:

KINDNESS

HONESTY

RESPECT

CONFIDENCE

RESPONSIBILITY

Our Behaviour Policy is closely linked to these rights and values.

The Trust has its own set of values that shape the culture and guide every aspect of their work. They influence the interactions, the decisions and the strategic direction - and they unite each of the 21 schools within the Trust together.

  I Aspire, we achieve

We want our high aspirations to be felt by everyone, and we want people to deliver them as part of our team. 

  We’re curious, creative and bold

We encourage innovation and different ways of thinking across the board. We don’t want people to be the same as everyone else. It’s important that our teams feel safe to fail and to try new things. 

  A family, not a house share

We are all about collaboration. We want people to feel like they’re part of something bigger and that they’re safe in our ‘family’. However, family for us incorporates all elements of parenting – there are rules to follow, and we will always challenge, as well as encourage, the people we care for. 

  Comfortable being candid

This speaks to psychological safety and making sure that everyone in the Trust is allowed to speak their truth and to share their opinion, as long as it’s within a respectful framework. 

  Humour, humility, humanity

We recognise the whole human, and we understand that people have lives and priorities outside of work. We expect people to bring their entire personality to work with us, including the laughter and the fun. This value helps us to overcome even the toughest of challenge, with lightness.
