• Making and expecting others to make minor adjustments.

Our standards and expectations of behaviour are high. We expect children to be honest, reliable, helpful, polite and responsible. We regard respect for others as a basic standard of good behaviour. We encourage children to consider and appreciate the views and beliefs of others even though they may be different from their own.
