Rachel Keeling Values

The Rachel keeling Values underpin everything we do at Rachel Keeling. Children, families and staff worked together to create our Rachel Keeling Values in line with the British Values headings of:

1. Democracy We have a voice
2. Rule of law We share and take turns
3. Individual liberty We have a choice
4. Respect We show respect to everyone and everything

Our values permeate everything we do: children refer to them to support each other, often independently problem solving and managing their own behaviour; children know they will be listened to and their words valued; many children have learned to speak up for what they believe and feel trusted to; families have reported the effectiveness of the Rachel Keeling Values at home and that children have shared them with wider family members. 
Our children not only know the values (one child was heard reciting them to herself loudly whilst using the toilet!) but children understand them and are observed independently demonstrating them and living them.
One child who left us recently wrote on her leaving card to staff "Alma came from Rachel Keeling Values".
