Team KR

All of the members of Kings Road were involved in forming our Vision and Values.  These are fundamental to the daily practice at school.  

At Kings Road we believe the team (TeamKR) is enhanced by celebrating the individuality of all of our members.  (Be, be us).

The values of loyalty, pride, respect, sacrifice and commitment are important in order to help TeamKR be the best that it can be.

We try to make a difference by...

a) Ourselves (level one)

b) Those near to us (level two)

c) The wider world (level three).

We all try to be 'bucket fillers' (making a difference to others by our actions and words) rather than 'bucket dippers'.

There is one rule for everyone at Kings Road Primary School which is:

“At Kings Road we behave with respect, courtesy and consideration towards one another at all times” In practice this means that;

• We are kind and gentle – we do not hurt anyone by our words or by our actions.

• We work hard in every learning opportunity – we do not waste our own or other people’s time. Learning is a fantastic opportunity that we should make the most of.

• We look after all property - our own, other children’s and equipment belonging to school – We try hard not to waste or damage things.

• We always listen to other people and do not interrupt. This is a sign of respect for other people.

• Whatever has happened we are honest. we do not cover up the truth.

• Respect all members of our school community.

This includes regard for authority and equality. We have high expectations of all our children at Kings Road Primary School. We expect good behaviour and have a system of rewards to recognise the exemplary behaviour demonstrated by our children. This is celebrated each week in our Friday Celebration Assemblies where we congratulate children who have excelled.

KR Philosophy It is constantly reinforced with the children that the reason to make the correct choice is for intrinsic purposes, how we feel about ourselves and respecting others. Sometimes an extrinsic reward may be the outcome of a positive choice but this should not be the sole motivating factor as it can result in disheartenment if the choice is not recognised. Conversely, the same can be true when a child makes the wrong choice. Furthermore, should a child make the wrong choice it is the behaviour that is unacceptable and not the child;

we will sanction the behaviour but not label the child. The school takes responsibility for matter which occur in school, however, on occasion school may decide to act on behaviours that have occurred outside of Kings Road should it deem appropriate and in the best interest of the child, other children or school.
