--- title: "Values-based Education" url: "https://www.st-andrews.oxon.sch.uk/teaching-and-learning/values-based-education" school: "St Andrew's Church of England Primary School" --- # Values-based Education Values are the principles, fundamental convictions and standards that act as the general guides to our thinking and behaviour. Values-based Education occurs when universal, positive human values underpin everything a school or other organisation does. The Values based Education (VbE) work at St Andrew's CE Primary underpins all aspects of school life. Our shared values, including truthfulness, responsibility, courage and thankfulness, guide how children learn, behave and build relationships. They shape our curriculum, assemblies and expectations, creating a calm, inclusive and supportive environment where every child feels safe, valued and able to reach their full potential. Through values-based learning, pupils are encouraged to work collaboratively, reflect on their actions and persevere when challenges arise.
