Ethos & Values

At Horbury Primary Academy, we aim to create a warm and welcoming environment where every individual is valued and supported to achieve their full potential. We believe that excellent behaviour is fostered through positive strategies that are clearly communicated and delivered with fairness and consistency.

Our school community is united by a shared commitment to success. We strive to build strong, lasting links between the school and the wider community, placing Horbury Primary Academy at its heart and working together to create a bright future for our pupils.

In addition, we are committed to:

  • Ensuring the health, safety, and well-being of every pupil.
  • Creating a friendly, stimulating and inclusive environment where all children are supported, valued, and encouraged to succeed.
  • Providing an engaging, broad and balanced curriculum that ensures continuity and progression, equipping pupils with the knowledge, skills and understanding to become lifelong learners.
  • Offering equal opportunities for all children to access a wide range of learning activities.
  • Inspiring children to develop a positive approach to learning, fostering independence, resilience and determination when facing challenges.
  • Recognising and meeting any additional needs to support every child’s success.
  • Equipping children with the skills, attitudes and values needed to make a positive contribution to society and achieve future economic well-being.
  • Promoting an understanding of the importance of a healthy lifestyle—emotionally, socially and physically.

Our Character Virtues

Across the academy, we teach and celebrate our five Character Virtues, which underpin everything we do. These virtues provide a child-friendly approach to achieving our aims and help to instil the values and behaviours we believe are essential for success, both in school and beyond.
