Our Values

At Benedict House, we nurture our youngest learners to become independent, curious and resilient learners through a comprehensive early years curriculum aligned with the EYFS Statutory Framework (2025). We provide a caring, inclusive environment where children thrive and we can move towards the future as a family.

Our Values are at the heart of our school. We introduce these values within Early Years in a way that is accessible to our youngest learners. We value the contributions of every single individual within our school community.

Our values:

• Respect creates a safe, inclusive and positive environment where everyone feels valued, listened to and able to learn and grow together.
• Resilience supports
• Integrity: Story, song, vocabulary and conversation underpin daily learning.
• Teamwork: Emotional security, kindness and respect guide everything we do.
• Empathy: Parents are active partners in their child’s learning and wellbeing.

Our Ethos

• Believing in every child: We have high hopes for all children and celebrate their individual strengths, including those with SEND.
• Learning through play: Play sits at the heart of our practice, offering joyful, hands-on experiences guided by caring and attentive adults.
• A love of language: Stories, songs, talk and rich vocabulary fill our days and support children’s learning and confidence.
• Caring relationships: We create a safe, happy environment where kindness, trust and emotional wellbeing come first.
• Working together with families: We value close, open relationships with parents and see them as essential partners in their child’s learning and wellbeing.

• A thoughtfully-designed and broad curriculum
