Ethos

‘Getting the culture right is pivotal. With the right culture, the strategies that are used become less important. The culture is set by the way that the adults behave.’ Paul Dix

OUR VISION

Inspire, Aspire and Achieve

OUR MISSION STATEMENT

J H Godwin is a truly inclusive school that educates the whole child to build ambition and the capacity for social, mental and economic success. We pride ourselves on our motto 'EVERYONE IS WELCOME HERE' and practise a trauma informed approach so that all can learn without judgement and in safety.

OUR CORE VALUES

J H Godwin School is committed to creating an environment where exemplary behaviour is at the heart of productive learning. Everyone is expected to maintain the highest standards of personal conduct, to accept responsibility for their behaviour and encourage others to do the same. In order to ensure that all members of our school community feel secure at J H Godwin, we commit to employing a trauma informed approach to all interactions.

We want to create an environment that is safe, where everyone feels respected and where everyone is ready to engage in learning.

We welcome you to come and visit J H Godwin to see our fantastic outdoor learning environment, meet our talented, exciting and committed staff and most importantly view our pupils as they celebrate their love for learning, demonstrate their care and respect for themselves and others, and show their honesty and commitment to becoming members of a future society who aspire, inspire and achieve.
