Ethos, Visions & Values

Through our strong family ethos, the Trust, staff, parents, governors and the wider John Wood School & Nursery community work in partnership to provide a high-quality education that meets the needs of every child and enables them to achieve their personal best.

  • Learn how to work effectively as part of a team, while developing high aspirations
  • Become independent, confident and resourceful learners
  • Take responsibility for their own choices and actions
  • Build self-belief and enjoy positive, healthy relationships through well-developed social skills
  • Strive to be the best they can be
  • Gain the core knowledge and skills necessary to succeed in the next stage of their learning journey, laying strong foundations for future economic wellbeing
