Our Values
Our Values
At Downend School we want our students to become ‘the best possible versions of themselves’ who demonstrate 5 key attributes. These are linked to our 5 core PRIDE values which underpin our overall culture. These are the means by which the whole community operates both inside and outside the classroom and will be evident in the core behaviours of our students, which we work tirelessly to promote.
