Vision & Values

Little Thurrock Primary School is committed to ensuring all its pupils receive an outstanding education, achieve their full potential and are equipped with the skills and attitudes needed to be active citizens of the 21st Century.

Our commitment is to:

• Ensure an enriched curriculum that meets the needs of all our learners;
• Promote the highest aspirations of our pupils;
• Encourage a passion for learning;
• Uphold core British Values;
• Develop children’s ability to manage their own health, safety and wellbeing;
• Empower our children to become autonomous, resilient individuals;
• Recognise the vital role of parents and carers in their children’s education.

These commitments underpin all the work that the school and governors do and reflect the passion and drive that inspire us to work for our children’s future.

The co-operative values

Everyone at Little Thurrock Primary School endeavours to sustain the ethos of a whole school community; where every individual feels important and their needs are met, where diversity is embraced in a happy and secure environment, where the children, staff, governors, parents and volunteer helpers are valued and cared for and where the quality of teaching, and opportunities for learning, are sustained to the highest possible standards, using all the information and resources available across all the key stages.  

As a partner in the Osborne Co-operative Academy Trust, we share the balanced set of six co-operative values which are embedded throughout the school by both staff and children.

We are committed to demonstrating these values and principles in everything we do:

Self-help

We use our own efforts and resources to achieve things without relying on others.

Solidarity

We support each other and work together to achieve a goal.

Democracy

We understand that everyone should be treated equally and has an equal voice and right to contribute.

Equality

We ensure that everyone is treated fairly, equally and with respect.

Equity

We demonstrate attitudes and behaviours which are fair and unbiased.

Self-responsibility

We understand that we are answerable and accountable for our actions.

British values

The promotion of British values is firmly embedded in the work that we do, and according to Ofsted, 'fundamental British values' are:

• Democracy;
• The rule of law;
• Individual liberty;
• Mutual respect for and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs and for those without faith.

These values link very well to our co-operative values, illustrated in the following table.
