Our four Harefield values are:
Respect:
Respect is the cornerstone of our school community. It means valuing each individual’s unique perspective, treating others as we want to be treated, and appreciating the diversity that enriches our learning environment. In our school, we foster an atmosphere where respect is not only expected but celebrated.
Honesty:
Honesty forms the bedrock of our academic integrity. It means being truthful in our words and actions, even when faced with challenges or difficult decisions. At our school, we believe that honesty not only builds trust but also cultivates a culture of responsibility and accountability.
Responsibility:
Taking responsibility means owning our actions, choices, and their consequences. It’s about recognising that we are active participants in our own learning journey and in the well-being of our community. We encourage every member of our school to embrace their role in creating a safe, supportive, and thriving environment.
Compassion:
Compassion is at the heart of how we interact and empathise with one another. It’s about showing kindness, understanding, and support to those around us, fostering a sense of belonging and unity. In our school, we believe that compassion not only nurtures a positive learning environment but also prepares students to be thoughtful, caring citizens in the broader world.
