We will work in close partnership with our local Primary, Secondary schools, colleges and Higher Education providers in both Elmbridge and Northeast Surrey to ensure that we share our expertise with other practitioners and continue to innovate and self-reflect to develop further.

Our school values at Heathside Walton-on Thames will be chosen and shaped by the students themselves, in the first year of operating, but to give you a flavour of the types of values we uphold, at Heathside Weybridge the three key values the students chose are: Respect, Commitment and Endeavour which underpin everything they do.

Ethos:

Heathside is a school community that:

• Offers a welcoming, secure, positive and challenging learning environment.
• Promotes respect, understanding and acceptance of diversity.
• Raises aspirations, encouraging and supporting everyone in their personal endeavours.
• Provides opportunities to develop self-esteem, self-confidence and resilience.
• Promotes positive wellbeing and supports those who need it.
• Contributes positively to the local community and beyond.

Values:

The values will be decided after collaboration with students once the school has opened. In the first term, new year 7 students will have the opportunity to discuss and share what they see as the key values they would like the school community to uphold and then they will decide from these which they would like their three key values to be. To give a flavour of the types of values which may be discussed, at Heathside Weybridge their key values are - Respect, Commitment and Endeavour.
