This half term's home-school values challenge is to design your own version of the maze tree in the story of Zacchaeus.

Christian Values at Totternhoe

At Totternhoe, we teach our children a range of  Christian Values which help them to work with each another co-operatively and with respect.  They are keenly linked to our 3 behavioural rules of; Be Eager, Be Respectful and Be Safe. They learn the importance of friendship and unity, we teach children to approach life with positivity and hope, and to show empathy and acceptance towards others.  These values make our school community happy and harmonious, a fun place, where children feel secure. All of our values our intertwined in our school vision which is the golden thread running through everything at Totternhoe. 

At Totternhoe,  every individual is valued for who they are and what they contribute to the school.  Our Values are intended to support the personal, social and spiritual development of every pupil throughout the school.  The whole staff team and all pupils are involved in promoting Values and recognising where others are ‘living the values’. The Values have been  welcomed by pupils and staff as values which are important within the school community and which will be important throughout life.

Our Christian Values last year (2021-2022) were:

Thankfulness
Trust
Perseverance
Justice
Service
Truth
