Safe, Caring and Positive

At Biggleswade Academy, being safe, caring and positive is at the centre of everything we do. Together with our Values, being safe, caring and positive underpins our learning and teaching and provides us with the opportunity to work in an environment which prepares all our pupils as confident and happy citizens, ready to take on the challenges life has to offer.

• Honesty
  We will act with integrity and be honest with one another and also with ourselves.
   
• Tolerance
  We understand that not everyone shares the same beliefs and values as ourselves and we will respect the values, ideas and beliefs of others. We are aware that everyone is different but everyone is equally important and this is promoted through our assemblies and the whole Biggleswade Academy ethos.
   
• Community
  We are committed to building strong links between home and school, with our local community and with those around us and across the world. Our environment matters to us and we will do everything we can to care for it. We will continue to raise funds for our chosen charities.
   
• Equality
  We will treat everyone fairly and understand that some people need extra help and support to have the same opportunities as others. We will be kind and caring to others who experience difficulties, who have different views to our own, who like different things that we do or who have different talents to us.
   
• Respect
  We will have respect for ourselves and others. We accept that others have the right to hold different views and opinions from ours. We behave towards others as we would like them to behave towards us.
   
• Resilience
  We are resilient and will bounce back after a setback.
   
• Forgiveness
  We appreciate everyone can make mistakes. Sometimes our mistakes hurt others and we need to say sorry and be able to forgive those who may hurt us.
   
• Pride
  We will wear our school uniform with pride! We will take care with our work, making sure it is our very best. We will enjoy that feeling you get when you rise to meet a challenge and successfully complete it and we will feel good when we help others.
   
• Responsibility
  We will take responsibility for our own behaviour, our work and our attitude to learning. We will behave well and consider the needs of others.
