The values that we uphold are at the heart of our school community and are pertinent for both students and staff, they are respect to all, from all and impactful learning.

“Respect to all, from all”

We want all students to feel appropriately rewarded and celebrated and our school ethos of respect and kindness to be promoted, alongside effort, progress and attendance. This ensures all children in our school community are happy and safe so that they maximise their learning potential and be the best they can be.

We know that during the course ​of our students’ time here at Caludon they will inevitably face personal as well as academic challenges. Our pastoral teams are dedicated to supporting our young people so that they feel safe and happy at school, form good friendships and understand and embody our values of respect and kindness. We enjoy the diversity of our school community and, whilst we encourage a pride in being a part of the Caludon Castle School, we also encourage a celebration of what makes us unique and individual. We are currently a UNICEF Silver Rights Respecting School and are working towards our gold award.

Caludon Castle School has been recognised as a Rights Respecting School, a school where children and young people’s rights are respected, promoted and protected by everyone.

We believe that the rights of all children, as set out in the UN Convention of the Rights of the Child, are at the heart of school life. We are working to ensure that every student and every adult within the school community is aware of children’s rights and puts them into practice every day. The rights of children both within the school and elsewhere are promoted and realised, and all members of the school community work collaboratively towards this.

Learning about children’s rights involves everyone in exploring how to make our school the best possible place in which to learn, be safe and reach our potential.

As a Rights Respecting School, we have to ensure that students:

• have a real say in what happens in school
• are treated with respect and dignity and treat others with respect
• learn about being rights-respecting global citizens, standing up for the rights of children everywhere.

Castle Phoenix Trust’s strength lies in our commitment to collaborate and share excellent practice between all our schools. Our unique offer is one of growing leaders. We nurture new and inexperienced leaders and provide opportunities for children and staff to demonstrate their leadership skills. We value inspirational leadership and the value this brings to our Trust.
